[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you wasting time touring Ivy schools? Visit safety schools instead to a make sure your kid has some options they like and can get into

— Mom of 2023 grad with 4.9 W GPA and 36 ACT that did not get into any Ivy. [/quote]

Umm. Maybe it was your kid? One-dimensional? Bad interviewer? Boring and uninspiring?
My kid with 33 ACT and 3.8uw is going to Ivy.

Let ppl tour what they want. No one made you God.

Feel free to waste your time.   Just passing on what post people seem to need to learn the hard way.  Its hard to get in. No need to get nasty.  [/quote]

Different poster here.  Why come in to any Ivy post to talk about your kid who didn't get in 2 years ago?  Clearly many kids DID get in and therefore it isn't crazy for the next crop of kids to visit the school(s).
You post your kid's stats constantly and it's been 18 months since he/she was rejected.  It's really time to move on with life.  [/quote]

If the kid is as annoying as the parent, then there's the answer.   No one needs that around. Everyone tries to avoid PITA kids and parents. [/quote]

NP. Why are people piling on this parent? Because you think she's harshing your Ivy buzz? Maybe she came on a bit strong, but her caution is helpful.  Very few will get into Ivies.  Hope people are putting as much focus on touring likelies and targets.[/quote]

You're just as annoying.  Stay in your own lane.  Sounds like you don't want to tour ivies.  GREAT!  You do you.

Every parent knows that the Ivies are crap shoots.  We don't need your "tsk, tsk" know-it-all, party-pooper attitude coming on here to tell us about it.

Touched a nerve I guess. Not a party pooper, just a realist. Merely said I hoped people were focusing on targets and likelies as I've seen too many kids dazzled and disappointed.  You make a lot of bogus judgments about me, while I said nothing judgemental about anyone. Pot calling the kettle black on "staying in your own lane." [/quote]
