[quote=Anonymous]PP this is life not a home viewing of "Pollyanna." Admissions rates are a reality, as is the fact that Ivies don't typically take more than 2 or 3 from our school. As someone earlier in the thread mentioned, it is entirely rational to determine that one would rather have a 50//50 chance at one of DC's top three than a less than 10% chance at the top one, particularly if one is taking into account what others DC actually knows (and compare) are doing. Most o f life is based on imperfect and incomplete information, yet still strategy matters. And your underlying assumption -- that "first choice" is somehow sacrosanct -- is just wrong. When it comes to top colleges, there is really just not that much that varies. DC will will be fine either way.[/quote]
