[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a take away from this thread is be realistic about college admission and don’t set weird expectations with the school or your kid. Get your kid psyched about their target schools. Don’t fixated on the Ivy-plus or top 20. [/quote] It's really this. There are tens of thousands of very strong applicants applying to each of the top colleges. However you define it, the top kids in this area (and that includes both public and private) may be the big fish in this pond, but there are plenty of other ponds out there in the US, let alone overseas. With relatively few exceptions, these colleges and universities are free to create an incoming class however they want, and with tremendous demand for the top schools, they have almost limitless choices.[/quote]
