[quote]Ok, so I do have a more serious contribution. [b]Why all the criticism for applying to all 8 Ivies?[/b] Presumably the kid applied at age 17, when lots of different types of college settings may appeal to her. Yes they're all very different, but a determined, self-motivated kid may be able to thrive at any of them. If she felt like she had what it takes to be a competitive candidate at each of them, then why not apply?[/quote]

Well, she is obviously not entitled like other boys (lacrosse athletes) who may wish to play only in the Ivy League or the ACC.  She's terrific soccer player and may only want toppled in the Ivy League.  I few let bone heads who only want to play football in the SEC select only SEC schools for recruiting purposes why can't we let a female athlete do the same?

Why does it even concern folk on DCUM?  Envy and jealousy runs deep in the middling mid-Atlantic leagues.
