[quote=Anonymous]No one has posted the simple numbers that the Ivies now take 4-8% of all applicants. Forty years ago, that was more like 15-20%. That means they turn away thousands and thousands of highly qualified students. You never know what mix they want to get the right level of diversity in a freshman class for that school. So no, there are no more automatic ins. Families who don't expect one will get a lot more from their secondary and college experiences. There is also no magic ticket to a golden future by attending an Ivy. My circle of Ivy friends did well in an upper middle class way, but it wasn't a road to great riches for anyone. I see that in the alumni news and obits all the time. Ordinary successful professionals mostly. Too many stereotypes bouncing around out there.[/quote]
