Just like every non-Ivy school.

Where did you and your spouse and kids go to college?

Stanford and MIT are not. They beat most of the ivies in cross-admits except Harvard or Yale. Then there's Caltech competing with Princeton and Columbia, followed by another drop-off in student caliber at Duke and Chicago where they have to compete for kids from places like UPenn (and usually loses to the latter) and Dartmouth. Northwestern, JHU and WashU are the true schools for ivy rejects.[/quote]

Princeton. Husband went to Dartmouth. Kids are at Yale and Columbia. I was originally from St. Louis so I know it pretty well. [/quote]

You’re not making Princeton look good. [/quote]

+1. Yikes. What a nasty soul. [/quote]

I guess I was too nasty back, but I think the idea that there’s anything wrong with being an “Ivy reject” these days is absurd. Most people who teach at Ivy League schools now would have a hard time using their original applications to get into Ivy League undergraduate programs today. [/quote]

very true indeed [/quote]
