[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh and I also went to an Ivy. Our dcs are excellent students, well-rounded people...And they would never get in now. The college landscape has changed so much and is so competitive. I have zero doubts they'd excel at an Ivy, but it won't happen. They will probably go to our state flagship.[/quote] I’m watching this unfold now with a couple of DDs classmates - including 2 families we’ve known since kindergarten. It’s just hard all around. [/quote] It is hard, and I won't lie: I find it tough to swallow. These are kids who are working much more than we did, are taking more APs, also doing varsity sports, have other ECs...We got in with fewer accomplishments. I feel bad for this generation of kids tbh, working harder to just have a chance to get into flagships when they could have gotten into a top school 20 years ago.[/quote]
