[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another option is to say that you looked at “name Ivy,” but that “chosen school” was more interesting to you. That suggests the level you’re playing on. If someone then says, “Oh, why did you prefer Swarthmore over Yale,” let them have it - gently. [/quote] My kid was one of these. Had a great record, including a one-sit SAT 1560. He was sick and tired of the dog-eat-dog striving of his high school and the competition at Ivies for clubs, etc. He wanted to go somewhere where kids were fine with themselves, yet smart, and ambitious toward their own goals. He found it outside the NE and at a highly-ranked SLAC. His social life has gone from fairly small in HS to a friend group of 20+ in college. [/quote]
