[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the families whose kids got into Ivies? I admit it, I wish my DC was going to a slightly better school. I'm proud and he knows I'm proud but I am a little bit jealous. I know it's superficial and it's probably not even the right fit but they do have a lot of cache. I am glad I'm not trying to pay for it, however.[/quote] Actually, we don't intend to apply to many, if any, "selective" schools. Our strong impression is that they are overrated and overpriced for the actual quality of education they provide (exceptions exist of course, esp. for specialized areas of study). Heck, I've often heard that the most challenging part of an Ivy League education is getting in. The fact of the matter is that the U.S. has one of the best university systems on Earth, and even an "average" university will do an overall excellent job of preparing knowledgable, employable graduates in their chosen field of study.[/quote]
