[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly.  Ivies aren’t the end all be all.  Some people are so narrow minded and only want their kids to go Ivy.  Many of them get a reality check when either their kids don’t want to go or can’t get in.  Big wake up call. Good news is there kid can be equally successful, if not more so, if they attend a college they want it a school that is a better fit.[/quote]

So then that means that all these boys at Prep don’t want to go to an ivy? Because as PP said there were no H,Y, P.[/quote]

So HYP are the only ivies?!? Really?  Well, I guess according to you they are. Weird, because according to the rest of the world Ivies are HYP AND Columbia, Penn, Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth. Additionally, many people consider Stanford, Duke, and University of Chicago higher than several ivies and Notre Dame is also considered higher than an ivy. Not to mention Williams, Amherst, Washington U St. Louis, Hopkins, Georgetown, USC, Michigan, Tufts, NYU, Davidson, Grinnell, etc can also be considered more attractive for various reasons to some top students than the Ivies.

Your obsession with Ivies is dated and skewed. Tons of kids at top privates would prefer lots of top schools over Ivies. Going to an Ivy is not the end all be all by any stretch of the imagination, especially for undergrad. Are there kids at top privates who want to go Ivy, yes. Are there parents at top privates who are Ivy obsessed, absolutely. Are there also parents at top privates who only want their kids to go to Ivies and force them to do so, absolutely. That is sad. I fear for the child whose parents say HYP or bust. Good luck with that.[/quote]
