[quote=Anonymous]Nah, she wasn’t realistic about a lot of these colleges. I’m pp whose DC got into 8 schools a while back. I agree with other posters. You have to do lots of research to get good outcomes. And I mean a lot of research. And then you have to be very realistic about the game and how you can win at it. We were lucky because 1) my kid was not a 1500+ student; 2) the Ivies were never a consideration because of it, and 3) a few other “street smart” factors that we homed in on that narrowed our focus. Colleges tell you who they are without necessarily telling you who they are if you are researching well and asking the right questions. My last thought is that very few students should be applying to Ivies. It’s too hard to win at that game, and the penalty of losing other options early on is just not worth it unless you are really hooked. [/quote]
