[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I wasn't clear that DC didn't even APPLY to the higher tier schools, because they weren't interested. These friends and family can't wrap their minds around that. So it's less of them not understanding modern admissions and more of them not understand why DC would self-select into a "lessor" school. And I really have no idea how to reply to that beside, "That's what they wanted." Which clearly isn't working.[/quote]

I don’t believe you.  [/quote]

I believe OP, bc we had a really hard time finding reaches for my kid. She applied to only one reach under urging from counselor. The rest targets or safeties. Sometimes it’s like this. Believe it or don’t. [/quote]

That’s not the part I don’t believe. I don’t believe she’s getting this much flack from so many family members and friends. I just don’t buy it. I’ve said this in the past and ruffled her feathers and she reported me and had it deleted, but I think much of this is in her head.[/quote]

You don't believe an lesser Ivy admit would get crap from family about not even bothering to apply to HYP? What planet do you live on?[/quote]
