[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You imply that Ivies are the only selective schools. My kid got into Julliard though and I'm beyond thrilled for her because this has been her dream since third grade.

I couldn't care less that it's not an Ivy.[/quote]Julliard is very difficult to get into.  Kudos to your daughter!!  She must be extraordinarily talented.[/quote]

Thanks! I really love watching her dance. :)[/quote]

I would be much prouder of a Julliard admission than an Ivy admission. [b]Any smart kid who wants to grind it out can get into an Ivy. [/b]Julliard takes real talent, though. [/quote]

Actually, no. The Ivies turn away tons of 2400 SATs and valedectorians every year. That said, Julliard (and Curtis and Pratt) are all places to be very proud of, too.[/quote]Actually, yes.  There is the one and only Julliard which makes the PP's daughter's accomplishment a real achievement.  Julliard turns away a ton of superior talented applicants every year.[/quote]

So do the Ivies--which turn away many, many more superior applicants in one year than Julliard will in 10. That said, I agree with the poster who said that all are very impressive places of which to be proud. The Ivies, Stanford, MIT, Julliard, and countless others are WONDERFUL and impressive schools. [b]You don't have to try to dim the Ivy light to make Julliard shine. And feeling as though you must do so only reveals your real feelings about Julliard's impressiveness compared to the Ivies.[/quote][/b]

This. These - Julliard, Stanford and, yes, the Ivies -  are all good schools. The Ivy envy from a few of you is pathetic and says a lot about you.[/quote]
