[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applying to all 8 Iviies means that the parents aren't concerned about fit or major or experience or anything else, except the brand name. They're looking for whatever brand name they can get. It's social climbing and grasping and pushy.   At least the kid has a choice, now. Good for her [/quote]

LOL.

Both parents are engineers from Bangalore. This means that they were people of means before they came to this country. College admissions in India to elite engineering colleges is much more competitive than in the US.  Their kid did not go to a private HS. She got into TJ  on her merit and aced it there. Look at her records - 8 Ivies and 6 highly ranked universities wanted her, and she competed with thousands of brilliant applicants from around the world to get acceptances. Not in one, not in two but all 14 schools!

They have already arrived, already rich and already high on the social ladder.  I am willing to bet that their education, economic status, HHI, kid's achievement is already much higher than the PP's.

She has more choices in her schooling than most of the world will ever have.  And if her motivation was to show all of us how brilliant she is - well she has proved her point without saying a word.

Yes - good for her.
