LOL. I am SMH too. If there were a reasonable chance of getting in where one really wanted to go, none of this would be an issue. But this is not the world we live in. Say you loved the open curriculum and did not get in Brown. What next? Drop all Ivies and go to Wesleyan? Maybe for some kids, but not my DC (sadly).[/quote]

Yes exactly. So, some AO at the school that fits you best (Yale, say) decides you are not good enough and you drop 40 ranks? Intellectualism at Yale vs. Preprofessional focus at Penn will not matter much to an intellectual kid or a professionally focused kid at either school. Plenty of both in both places. [/quote]
