[quote=Anonymous]College matriculation has little to do with the school itself and a lot more to do with the quality of student. I think a lot of parents in this group are deluded in thinking an Ivy will take their 3.6 GPA kid from a Big 3 because their school's prestige or rigor. That's just not the way this works. Parents who have gone through the process with these schools usually learn the hard way that the Ivy spots are reserved for special cases and the very top students. If your kid is in the 3rd decile at Sidwell/STA/NCS/GDS they're probably going to NYU, Colby, Colgate. Maybe UChicago if they apply ED1. [/quote]
