[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People need to calm down, OP did not say that she thought all other schools are beneath the others. She sited her reasons (legit to me, but maybe not fair or democratic as they are) that she feels the ivy would be a better choice.

I have 3 kids and will be the first to admit IF they were ivy material (they are not) I would jump thorough fire for them to attend. I personally don't believe anyone who says otherwise. Come on we all want the best for our kids, and like it or not Ivies are still at the top of the heap and produce more CEO's, presidents, chairmen and leaders of industry than any other collegiate group. Heck yea I would want my son in that environment![/quote]

Plenty of people have the opportunity to go to Ivys and turn them down in favor of other very good schools. I'm the pp above who went to the SLAC and whose husband went to UVa. I turned down Brown and Columbia to go to my SLAC, and my husband turned down Princeton to go to UVa. We've both been very happy with those choices, have never regretted them, and I would never push my children toward Ivys.[/quote]
