[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm the poster who gave the Michigan--&gt;Duke example.

I would probably stick with Michigan too (my kids are in middle school so we're not there yet). However, Duke is heck of a lot harder to get into than Michigan. I know at least a dozen DC kids from public and private who were accepted to Michigan. They range from 
steller (straight As, national merit finalists, etc) to strong (A/B students).

I only know of one accepted to Duke (the Michigan kid I mentioned). He/she's a top student, both parents are active Duke alumni and it took a pandemic to get the kid off the waitlist and into Duke from DC.[/quote]

Uh, that’s probably because of where we are?  More kids in mid Atlantic would typically apply to Duke then a school in the Midwest. [/quote]

Would you consider Duke to be on par with Ivies?    I certainly would not.  But then again i don't really consider Penn and Cornell to be Ivies.    Indeed.  [/quote]

This is such a JACKASS post. Who cares which schools you consider to be Ivy? Indeed![/quote]
