[quote=Anonymous]Look, as someone else in this thread said, the student applied to all 8 Ivies "because she could". That's really the issue here. The common app has created a frenzy that allows students to apply to 15, 16 schools. In this case, no issues with the fact that the student is a child of immigrants...I say good for her! That said, I think this is more about TJ wanting the ability to "crow" about the fact that one of their brilliant students (and she is brilliant) got into all 8 schools. Those that are involved in the college counseling process know that each of the Ivies is noted for something unique. There is absolutely no way that one student "fits" all eight ivies. Thus, in reality, this student gave 14 students on the respective schools wait lists a shot at getting in. [/quote]
