[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is facing such a choice.  [b]The non-ivy is their first choice and a better fit.[/b]  But it’s just difficult to ignore the prestige of an ivy.[/quote]

Seems like a no-brainer. Pick the 1st choice/best fit. (Who cares what sports conference they belong to.) Always pick the best fit. Congrats OP![/quote]

New money always choose Ivy names over fit. Old money would choose fit over Ivy. It’s not unlike when you see old rich wear high-quality, non-flashy exquisite clothes while newer rich are more likely to make sure you see the label of how much they spent. Same for who tend to wear Rolex. [/quote]
Haaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa!!!!

My god, you can believe how many old $$$, IVs and Vth generation our at my kids’ two Ivies. But, yeah, sure …lmaof. [/quote]

You have reading comp issue. No one said there isn’t any old money students on an Ivy campuses. The idea is old money would care more about fit than strictly the Ivy names, meaning they wouldn’t necessarily choose an Ivy that’s a poor fit just to be able to say their kid goes to an Ivy. If you see old money on Ivy campus, it could very well be because they love the school for the fit. [/quote]
