[quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone acting like an ivy is so impossible that it's laughable? I'm not getting the sense that OP and her child believe life will be over if DC isn't headed to Yale -- just that they want to maximize the shot. OP -- having done quite a bit of admissions work for an Ivy - def public and a non magnet/charter. I mean make sure the school has a strong AP curriculum or IB. At a regular public school it is easier to stand out in terms of top grades, class rank and leadership positions - assuming DC is a likeable hard worker - bc not every kid or even half or a quarter of kids there are looking to go to the ivys.[/quote]
