[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ivys are coasting on their reputations-the cat is now out of the bag with all of the recent bad press and reputations with employers. Many kids would pick NU over all Ivys except HYP. They deserve their high rankings on USNWR.[/quote]

This is just not true. My kid isn’t even considering applying to NW. it isn’t as desirable for a backup reach.[/quote]

Your kid probably wouldn’t get in.  Also, lots of kids do stupid things.  Don’t tell us about your kid unless they were already accepted and are making a decision.[/quote]

He probably would get in. It doesn’t matter. He has no interest in going to the Midwest. [/quote]

Nobody's kid "probably gets in" unless they are recruited athletes or have the money to "name a building". You kid is likely lacking on both of those vectors so they aren't getting in.[/quote]

The top 20isj students at the magnet schools "probably get in"  to at least one of these tippy top tier schools, by any reasonable interpretation of the words

Over 10% of the class, attends one of these schools.

But these kids are known contenders because they are recognized for national level extracurricular academic awards. (Some of them blur into curricular electives)
