[quote=Anonymous]“ I encouraged them to apply to UVA and Georgetown even if they had no desire to attend these universities.” This actually happens. I pretty much forced one if my kids to apply to 2 rural Ivies she had no interest in. The whole application process involves so many shifting variables, sometimes you have to force an issue you think makes sense even if kid disagrees at the time. Another aspect of this story that rings true is that PSU & UT are schools that generate intense loyalty in people—even those with a 36 ACT. It’s easy to see a kid getting caught up in the collective enthusiasm at either place. If the schools were like U of Missouri and Arizona State, it wouldn’t be as believable. [/quote]
