[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I speak on good authority:
nobody chooses Northwestern over Ivies
nobody chooses Brown over Princeton
nobody chooses Chicago over Columbia
and Georgetown is 10 spots too low[/quote]

So glad to know you have decided you have good authority, but Brown and Princeton are very different schools and there are plenty of people who would love to go to Brown and wouldn’t even apply to Princeton (and v.v. of course)[/quote]

While this may seem hard to believe, it is absolutely true and my kid is one of them.  It’s not a qualitative decision, many kids pick fit over prestige.

One of my Princeton graduate friends says many of his fellow alums agree “it’s a great place to have gone but not a great place to go“ Or something of that nature and probably with better grammar than I am using!

I do understand it is quite possibly the greatest academic institution in the country, for the record. Just not the right place for every kid no matter how smart.[/quote]

I think the vast majority of cross-admits are going to choose Princeton over Brown.  [/quote]

Awesome job arguing a point no one disputes, even PP!  Genius at work![/quote]

But that is better than going out of your way to be a prick.[/quote]
