Your kid sounds very smart and like a great kid. No, that doesn’t mean he has great chances for an ivy bc there aren’t enough seats for anyone save kushners to have a “great chance.”

Yes, pointy-ness may be a deciding factor for a tiny fraction of the pointy kids who apply but it’s not some unfair advantage-the schools from whatever reason have decided they want more rodeo clowns and hot air balloon pilots, that’s their call.

Your son is smart enough to have a chance and the ability to do well there probably-that means he will do great wherever he lands.

You need to get your head out of your A ss and stop focusing on highly rejective schools before you infect your son with your prestige fixated nonsense. Seriously-do better.

Then why do it.  Why show your ass to the world like that?

If your kid isn't competitive for those "highly rejective schools" then just move along, this conversation isn't for you.[/quote]
