Accepting a Spot on the Wait List

<p>Divvy has 2 fine schools in Georgetown and JHU. Yet there were so many Ivy rejects. Jordansaidwhat had ND and Berkeley, and similar Ivy blanks. The accepts all are fine schools that I suspect are better fits for these students. As for the prestige question, I am an alum of the coveted Ivy, have had a long and successful career in a field where connections matter, and not once has an Ivy relationship made a difference. Georgetown by the way, seems put off by any notion of being a safety for Ivy hopefuls. It is justly proud of its special qualities and perhaps rightly expects applicants to intend to enroll if admitted.</p>
