<p>Funny how a parent would care so much about her IvyLeague and UCBerkeley-admit children. I bet you think your “UCBerkeley-admit” is inferior to your ivy kid - rankings would say so. Parents who actually push their kids into ivies are lamentable. I’m glad my parents didn’t push me - I can say that whatever I did, I did on my own. I didn’t have a tiger mom on CC and I didn’t have connections to prestigious internships or programs. Even if/when I am not admitted ivy-league, I won’t care because I didn’t have helicopter parents who crafted me - I am my own success. </p>
