[quote=Anonymous]This thread is focused on schools that generally fall within the top 3 to 6 percent nationwide. Sorry people, there are thousands of colleges out there and everyone on this board has got to accept that places like Tulane or BC or Vandy or Grinnell get lots of applications from qualified students and can’t accept them all. Even Grinnell!!! Is it so hard to believe that the Ivy+ aren’t the only schools that turn qualified kids away? Or are kids just butthurt when they don’t get into a school that’s “beneath them” during RD so mom and dad have to manufacture reasons why the school’s admissions practices are bad: yield protection, reliance on ED, in state bias, FGLI/URM, etc. You pay your money and you take your chances. If you play the game correctly, your kid will have one or some options that they’re happy with. If not, you were probably arrogant in your list building. Signed, parent whose kid will happily be matriculating at a highly selective non Ivy school this fall (nor one mentioned above, but they’re great options too). The Sun does not rise and set on the evil 8![/quote]
