[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivies are a characature of themselves. They are lottery yes, because they are good schools, but the prestige and mystique is just that.

They use the same books and teach the same facts as all the other schools. And they aren't the only ones with single digit admissions rates.

And frankly a lot of coastal kids simply want to be in a different part of the county, which is why the top schools in the midwest get a lot of play. Huge demand from kids in DC/NY/Boston/LA/SF to go to Chicago or St Louis to top schools.

This is such a stupid exercise because every kid is different, and to suggest that all "top" kids only want to go to Ivies is just plain ignorant. Particularly kids going top public and independent schools who may want a different experience than the one they had in high school.[/quote]

I think this thread is trafficked by people like the PP who likely never attended college and yet somehow have latched onto college rankings as a hobby.[/quote]
