[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got into an Ivy. Test optional, private school GPA 95, EC's fine but not spectacular. Legacy, but still: could have knocked me over with a feather. Stats predicted rejection. And... kid turned it down, for a school ranked towards the bottom of the top 25. His logic: getting into the Ivy seemed like a fluke; he was worried about going to a school where he felt he would be one of the weaker students, surrounded by competitive maniacs. Felt he would be happier at the slightly less insanely competitive school. Moral of this story: i don't know, but weird things do happen. [/quote] Same. My ds got into a school he felt was actually going to be too competitive after all. He wanted to avoid toxic competition, etc. So he went to a lower ranked school that IMO was perfect for him (urban and more fun.)[/quote]
