[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I like how PP cites the fact she went to a Big 3 like that somehow lends credibility to her internal ranking of colleges.[/quote]

Well obviously when she went it was about excellence. Only when her kid is rejected does it mean they are not interested in excellence. [/quote]

My DC got into the University of Chicago which is a top 6 school and was higher on DC’s list than most of the Ivies.  So no crying here.  Was rejected by Princeton and my alma mater, Harvard. Just my opinion. Attack it if you want, but I probably know more about the Ivies than you do.  [/quote]

[b]On what basis do you think you know more about the ivies?[/b] Because you went to Harvard and saw your kid rejected by two schools? The only thing you appear to have learned at Harvard is self importance.

You should never assume you are the only Harvard alum in the world. Or that anyone should defer to you because you are one. [/quote]

Harvard's been "diversifying" lately, watering down its brand.  The Harvard PP ought to know.  [/quote]

If harvards brand is dependent on remaining all white, rich and male then you should invent a time machine and travel back to 1950.

The kids harvard or any school admits today are light years smarter than those twenty years ago. And let’s not even bother to compare them to the age of Worthington Mathers IV getting in during the 1950s

The problem isn’t a lowering of standards, it’s that contrary to all of this whining, more kids today are actually smarter and more accomplished than twenty or fifty years ago. But the class sizes have not increased.

So you can keep on denigrating todays kids (including implicitly your own) in a desperate attempt to rationalize why they didn’t get into the school you believe is better but at some point please come back to reality. [/quote]
