[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BS. I know ONE family - not Ivy parents - and all their kids (4 girls) went to Ivies (and Stanford). Nothing RANDOM. No lottery. Hard work and EXCELLENT grades from a FCPS public HS (not Langley - but top)[/quote] No, it's not a lottery for those who have something special going for them, like winning Intel or something, or some hook. It is effectively a lottery for those with excellent grades and scores, but nothing else. A few will get in because someone at one of the Ivies liked something about them, while the rest will get the circular file. Why does the whole lottery thing rattle your cage so much anyway? Do you feel your kids didn't work hard enough because someone told them the process was a lottery.[/quote]
