[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's easy to see why so few of you ended up at an Ivy.  You either didn't understand the question OP asked or are ignoring it.

Clearly it's directed at folks who in retrospect had an actual, realistic chance at admission to an Ivy but didn't push it.  Many of you don't qualify to respond -- by a long shot -- and those of you who got in a turned it down don't qualify either.[/quote]

OP - My question was directed at people who didn't try hard enough to get into an Ivy in the sense that maybe they didn't push to get As in their classes and settled for Bs (but could have gotten As if they worked harder), maybe they didn't bother taking a rigorous enough course load, or maybe their ECs weren't that interesting, etc. But I've been enjoying the varied responses I see here, especially since the heart of my question is about how much going or not going to an Ivy is important for future success. I'm embarrassingly still insecure about this, so it's nice to see others talk up other colleges, especially state schools. [/quote]
