And that is why there are MANY, MANY more schools available to the masses than just the ivies. Whether or not someone has the credentials to get in - the ivies are not for everyone.

I had no desire to go to HYP...... I did apply to UVA and Vandy (back in the stone age) and did get in to both, but chose not to go because they were not well known for the major I wanted.

I have no desire to put myself (or my child) in a less than comfortable environment. There are too many uncomfortable situations in life that you don't have a choice over. Selecting a college may be the last major decision you have some control over.......you might as well enjoy it.
