[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never said my small sample of public school applicants was representative of anything.  That's where your lack of intelligence and poor reasoning abilities led this whole thread astray.  The original discussion was about Ivy applications as supposed evidence of Big 3 parents being "prestige whores," except that public school parents are just as fixed on their kids getting into these same schools.[/quote]

Again you are displaying your lack of intelligence.  Your experience of interviewing a small number of public school students, albeit it is spanning over a decade as you claim, is still anecdotal.  And based on that anecdotal experience you made sweeping statements about public students' worthiness to apply to Ivys.  If only you have been following public school matriculation lists, widely available online and in Bethesda Magazine (for some area public schools) unlike for DMV area private schools, you would know a significant number of public school students go to any and all the Ivys and other equivalent and/or better universities (MIT, Stanford, Caltech, etc.).  Whereas, as per your statement, only one student you interviewed had an offer from your alma mater.  So clearly you have no basis to generalize public school students or their parents as "prestige whores".  As for the other poster who riled you up and caused you to make such outlandish response, I never thought diddly-squat about it.  [/quote]
