[quote=Anonymous][quote] This. Parent of a Sidwell alum who, despite having a very good chance of acceptance...and despite our pleas, flat out refused to apply to any Ivies. The thought of spending 4 more years with arrogant, entitled and self-absorbed classmates (or the like), was too much to digest. That being said...multiple acceptances from very good schools were received. DC chose a school in New England and is happy and thriving.[/quote] I’m surprised that as an adult, you wouldn’t try and disabuse your kid of the notion that everyone at any school is the same and try to teach them not to stereotype, etc. I have had kids at Ivy and at a small New England college, and actually find the privilege significantly more apparent at the non-Ivy, probably due to the smaller school size. It is far more similar in that respect to our Big3 than the Ivy is. Also, practically no kid has a “very good chance” of acceptance to an Ivy, no matter how high stats they are.[/quote]
