[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, daughter was deferred. She’s now going to be applying to [b]several peer schools like Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia[/b], but her heart was with Duke. She’s doing alright though![/quote]

Columbia may be a peer to Duke, but not Harvard and Princeton.  https://www.quora.com/Is-Duke-considered-inferior-by-people-that-went-to-Harvard-or-Columbia[/quote]

C’mon are you really going to nitpick, you get PP’s point. All hyper-competitive schools with sub-5% acceptance rates, most of the kids at all 4 of those schools will go on to lead similar careers except for a few outliers here and there[/quote]

She said Harvard and Princeton were “peers” to Duke. They are not. Nitpick away![/quote]

It says a lot about you that instead of wishing PP’s daughter well wishes in her application to Harvard and Princeton after her unfortunate Duke rejection (with a 1590, 4.0, and good extracurriculars, a profile which you would certainly find among Harvard’s or Princeton’s student bodies) you chose to focus on her use of the word “peer.” Bottom line, most kids would be over the moon to get into either. Schools that selective are always a lottery[/quote]
