[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think by skipping Ivy fever and focusing her efforts on non-Ivy T20 colleges, She’ll have better options and these schools are as good, just not a member of a famous sports league with high marketing budget.[/quote] Well... simply because your DD is skipping Ivies doesn't mean she will then be a shoo-in for the other T20s (just went through this admissions cycle). Best to pick a mix of reaches, targets, and likelies, then go from there. I do know a kid who wanted Penn, but was told her chances were not great as no hook, etc. so she doubled down on Northwestern and was successful in ED1. She really pitched herself, tailored her app, and was a compelling candidate. Yet it is also luck as a few other similar kids were not successful.[/quote]
