[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC had 4.4-4.5 from TJ.

36 ACT.

National science award winner.

University of Chicago.

The Ivies are overrated IMO and I went to one of the Big 3 Ivy schools.

Ivies are not as interested in excellence anymore. [/quote]

Nah, UChicago is not interested in excellence. They didn’t accept my 4.5-4.6 kid[/quote]

U of Chicago is not an Ivy League school. It is an Ivy League-caliber school, but it is not in the Ivy League.

My concern about the direction of the Ivy League is that it admitting more activists and fewer academics.

My hubby has complained for years that Ivy grads he hires are more “hit or miss” than they used to be. Small sample size, but other employers I know feel the same.  College activists make poor scientists, professors, lawyers and doctors. We need great scientists more than we need another over-educated activist.[/quote]

Ivy leaguers who apply to Mcdonald's aren't exactly the cream of the crop.  Your hubby got leftovers after all the pickings were done. [/quote]
