15 RD ([b]7 IVY[/b] + 3 SLAC)[/quote]Because your kid loves the core at Columbia but also the open curriculum at Brown? The rural isolation of Dartmouth and the vibe of Cambridge? The intellectualism of Yale and the preprofessional focus at Penn? SMH[/quote]

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. [b]Say you loved the open curriculum and did not get in Brown. What next[/b]? Drop all Ivies and go to Wesleyan? Maybe for some kids, but not my DC (sadly).[/quote]

Yes, find other schools that have that aspect. U of Rochester is a great option with an open curriculum like Brown. 40% acceptance rate so not a safety but very likely for a student who is competitive for the lottery at Brown[/quote]

Yes, some could pursue Rochester or other excellent schools. Others may want to try get the Ivy experience (and branding). To each their own.. [/quote]
