[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son that got into a big 3 ended up with disappointing college outcomes. His friends in Ivies were mostly legacy or well connected. My kid that got rejected ended up at a school most on this site would look down upon. He soared to the top of the class, was very involved in the community, and got into a T10 early decision. Both sons are of equal intellect, but the younger son benefitted from less competition and pressure. It’s way easier to get into top colleges when only 5 kids from your school care about elite admissions instead of the majority of the class. [/quote] This! Sidwell isn’t always the best choice. Too many legacies, VIPs, striver s families.[/quote]
