[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just let her go to the school she wants! You sound awful and Ivy obsessed. [/quote]

Oh lord, please don't tell me that if your child were qualified for an Ivy you wouldn't explore them applying.  We are a proud Big Ten family, hence why I said I understand her interest in those.  I think the top ones provide the best of everything!  I know very little about any of the Ivy schools and I thought this would be a place to get some useful input on subjective criteria.  [/quote]

Actually my oldest definitely had Ivy stats and toured Penn, Columbia and Princeton and none of them made his list -  in the end he got into Northwestern, Georgetown and full BK at UMD.  He decided to take the scholarship.  Go Big Ten![/quote]

Thanks.  She hasn't toured any of the Ivies yet and she isn't sure which one she is interested in touring.  [/quote]

Well, someone who yearns for Michigan isn't going to find that atmosphere at Yale.

If she has a realistic chance at T20's, I'd look at Stanford, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, USC, Northwestern, Duke, Michigan, Berkeley and UCLA.

You are not going to find that atmosphere at any Ivy. None. Not Harvard at the Beanpot. Not Cornell for anything. Not Dartmouth football.

Of course Stanford, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt are likely to lose. But the Big 10 and the SEC are a vibe. And having hopes crushed is a useful life lesson.  [/quote]
