[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids had ~3.75 at Sidwell and are both attending "T20" schools, though not "top Ivy's" - they didn't apply because neither wanted more of the SFS type culture. Nothing wrong with it, they both just wanted something different.[/quote] Did this plan work for them? Serious question. I have a student that seems to think attending another tough school other than a top ivy will be somehow be dramatically different. These type of schools are full of aggressive, high performing students from number 1 down to number 20 and probably beyond. Plus the real world is full of these types. I am not sure his plan to aim a little lower than the top will solve this problem in any way. Should not they just develop the skills to deal with the fact that plenty of things of life are difficult and competitive. Find a way to cope.[/quote]
