[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PS, some of this has to be a spoof, right? You all are seriously over-estimating both the legacy boost and the advantage, if any, that [b]going private[/b] confers kids and going private is not going to make your kid stand out, and in fact it may work against him.

Times have changed. Either your kids are tiny and you'll learn this soon, or this is a spoof. If the former, I hope you don't let your disappointment in your kid show too much when he fails to beat these odds.[/quote]

There is no advantage to getting into the Ivies by going to private school and it's actually a disadvantage.  The majority of kids at all the Ivies have and will always be from public schools.  If you were an Ivy legacy, pp, you would know that.[/quote]

Ahem. I'm the first PP, I'm an Ivy legacy but I went to a different Ivy, and that's why I wrote what's above. I think we are saying the same thing? That private school is no guarantee of Ivy admission, legacy or no.[/quote]
