[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I see a real shift to state schools and especially SEC schools in my real life. I’ve even seen Ivy-potentials not apply to any, or even turn down an Ivy. The reason is the perception that that the value isn’t there, and they are miserable places. [/quote]

I think it depends on the Ivy. From what I can tell, there is still lots of interest in Brown. It has a reputation for a high quality of life and a culture of collaboration, which students really value these days. I also see that Cornell is very appealing to many. It has outstanding engineering and business programs, which attracts lots of interest, particularly among boys. And it's a big school, which is what a lot of students want these days. But the shine is definitely off the other Ivies, particularly Harvard and Columbia. Which is fine. There are lots of good schools in this country. Students today aren't as blinded by the Ivy brand as prior generations were. [/quote]
+1 on brown, it’s also one of the reasons the LACs have seen increases in apps, students tend to like a non competitive but high opportunity environment.[/quote]
