[quote=Anonymous]As a TJ student, her chances of getting into an Ivy school was much less because of the fact that most of her brilliant classmates were her competition. Magnet HS kids routinely apply to multiple Ivies because of that. I do not buy the concept of the "best fit". Most schools do a good job in imparting STEM education. Obviously, each school felt that she was a desirable candidate and chose her over many others. Maybe the criteria that she was looking for was the academic reputation of the school vs. irrelevant (in my opinion) criteria like how pretty the campus is! Maybe she did not give great weight to rural/urban, party/non-party, climate, cuisine etc, when she applied to these schools. It is not unusual for people to apply to the number of schools that she did. That she picked Ivies is her choice. [/quote]
