[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm the poster who gave the Michigan--&gt;Duke example.

I would probably stick with Michigan too (my kids are in middle school so we're not there yet). However, Duke is heck of a lot harder to get into than Michigan. I know at least a dozen DC kids from public and private who were accepted to Michigan. They range from 
steller (straight As, national merit finalists, etc) to strong (A/B students).

I only know of one accepted to Duke (the Michigan kid I mentioned). He/she's a top student, both parents are active Duke alumni and it took a pandemic to get the kid off the waitlist and into Duke from DC.[/quote]

Uh, that’s probably because of where we are?  More kids in mid Atlantic would typically apply to Duke then a school in the Midwest. [/quote]

Would you consider Duke to be on par with Ivies?    I certainly would not.  But then again i don't really consider Penn and Cornell to be Ivies.    Indeed.  [/quote]

I agree with you. If your kid didn’t get into Harvard, I don’t want to hear about it. And yes - I am a Harvard grad and met my husband there. [/quote]

If you aren't stacking paper (scholarly) from Oxford, you need to check your tone when you are around me and my 2nd grader who I'm certain will get a full ride to Stanford on a tennis scholarship, only to reject it so that she can peruse her modeling career full-time.  I'm also super rich, great in bed and having a smokin' hot covid bod...  [/quote]

This is hilarious. Thank you poster. [/quote]

Extra points for the unabashedly wrong use of "peruse." Pursue?[/quote]
