[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This only matters if you want your kid to make more money than everyone else. Frankly that is not one of my life goals and I certainly hope its not my daughter's goal either. There is so much more to life.[/quote] +1 Not at the price you have to pay to get into an Ivy. Getting ready to apply to an Ivy is a full time job that significantly impairs quality of life. To be Ivy-ready, your kid has to have more than 5-6+ extracurriculars, an A average, and stand out in some way. It's really, really hard work and it's a lot of pressure on some very young people. Even if the bonus in pay is $50,000 per year on average, it's not worth it. They can make the same $50,000 by opening their own business, if they want to put those kind of hours in, and they can make that choice as adults, not high school students. [/quote]
