[quote=Anonymous]No. Are some extraordinary? Yes, but fewer than you imagine. Our daughter discovered this in an unusual way. She took a gap year to pursue professional ballet and happened to be in a town/city where she socialized at one of the top 3 Ivies in her off time. She realized that year that the students were no smarter than she is. As a result, her confidence bloomed and she eventually pursued a post baccalaureate year in STEM at another top 3 Ivy as a result and depending on what happens with NIH funding will start a PhD this fall. Because of the pressure to have a bunch of accomplishments, they sound impressive. They are only 17-18 years old. She did meet plenty of legacy kids too at the undergraduate level. There are many paths to an Ivy education.[/quote]
