[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can confirm as a west coast resident, no special allure for Duke in this part of the country. It's in a class with Vandy, Rice, NU, USC, Emory, BU, U of Notre Dame...  All great schools. [/quote]

From my part of the west coast Duke gets some of the top students, and we see lower ivies struggling more.[/quote]

Don't bash the schools as "lower" ivy just because your kids were rejected. Instead, love the school that accepted your kid. If Duke is providing a college home for your kid, it's truly the #1 school in the world for your family.[/quote]

I don’t think PP is bashing them, its just true that the ivies are not equal. Cornell isn’t Harvard and Dartmouth isn’t Princeton.[/quote]

Come back after you kid gets in to Dartmouth.  [/quote]

Come back after your kid gets into Princeton and Dartmouth, and chooses Dartmouth.[/quote]

Ivies are lottery tickets. My kid deselected Princeton and Dartmouth from the get go and instead applied to another ivy with more "allure" for him. Got into his dream school, so P and D don't matter one bit. [/quote]

Cool, hope your kid is enjoying their lower ivy![/quote]

Lol, T5 out of some 2000 universities ain't too shabby.  [/quote]

No lower Ivy is T5.[/quote]
