Only two ivies?[/quote]

Seriously? This is your mentality? This list is strong and many of these colleges have multiple Prep grads attending this year (not just one). You may be to narrow minded to understand that lots of grads have no desire to attend Ivies. I know plenty of top performing students who desire schools like USC, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford, NYU, Williams, Bowdoin, Amherst, Washington U St. Louis, Davidson, Wake Forest, Michigan, Hopkins, UNC, UVA, Boston College, UCLA, and many more over Ivies.

Lots of other schools you didn’t mention that aren’t that great.  [/quote]

What are you babbling about? Of course, there are thousands of colleges in the world. The statement above is about schools that top students (not necessarily just Prep students) like to attend over Ivies. Point being, tons of students don't find Ivies attractive and have no desire to attend, even if they could or do get in.[/quote]

PP might be from a place where there is an actual hierarchy of universities and incorrectly thinks that the World News rankings are legitimate, or actually about quality of education and hierarchy of admitted students. I honestly think it is difficulty for some people to comprehend the vastness and variety of colleges in the US, and how it is impossible for there to actually be one or three or nine  "best" schools.[/quote]
