The elites are not hanging out with the Plebe….

You send your kid to Sidwell only to see him/her end up at a State School….OMG

What social meltdown.[/quote]

This is the type of parent who has a meltdown when schools like Wake Forest or Tulane slip in the rankings. While both are perfectly fine institutions, they often serve as landing spots for wealthy but otherwise average students. So, where do you turn when your "Ivy backup" now ranks lower than Rutgers? I suppose you choose a because a pricey college the size of a small high school at least sounds exclusive.[/quote]
Ivy backups are WashU, Vandy, Emory, Georgetown etc. Wake and Tulane and the backups to the backups [/quote]

I'm pretty sure Vanderbilt is no one's backup these days.[/quote]

A lot of students applly ED to WF and Tulane as first choice.[/quote]

Tulane kind of forces you to apply ED anyways. 🤣[/quote]

How the F a school force you to apply or apply ED 🥱[/quote]

You wouldn't know hyperbole if it hit you in the face.

Applicants to Tulane know the deal.

Look at Tulane's ED acceptance rate ( close to 70%). Look up the EA rejections and immediate emails to switch to ED2.[/quote]

All the students applied with their  free will. 
Wake the F up LoL[/quote]

Tulane, Wake Forest, Case Western and even Washington University are often not the first-choice schools for many students prior to exploring the admissions landscape and understanding the advantages of Early Decision applications. How many students grow up dreaming specifically of attending Tulane, Case or Wake Forest? Likely very few. For many, choosing these schools as a first choice through ED is a strategic move, particularly for those whose academic credentials may fall short for more selective institutions.

That said, it's likely that many students do aspire to attend similarly ranked schools, such as Ohio State, Purdue, the University of Georgia, or the University of Washington. Institutions like Wake Forest, the University of Rochester, Tulane, and Case Western Reserve often attract students who may not have gained admission to top-tier private universities but still desire a college experience with an air of exclusivity and prestige.[/quote]

Yes yes yes. This. [/quote]

I think this is an accurate take [/quote]
