[quote=Anonymous]I was accepted to all of the Ivies where I applied (5) and Stanford, albeit 30 years ago. Probably helped that I was a geographic admit, meaning non-East Coast. My takeaway? It was extremely difficult to be so far away from home, without an adult support network. I had a blast, but at the end of four years, graduated with a LOT of debt, which influenced my career choice for years. When I finally paid everything off, in my early 30s, I had the freedom to choose a career I wanted, which isn't very lucrative but makes me happy. I wonder how my path would have been different had I attended a state school and been able to pursue the vocation I loved from the beginning? Just a reminder that the Ivies aren't the best option for every kid. [/quote]
