I think it is fair to expect that a discussion thread is initiated by stating the genuine purpose! While any form of ‘rude response’ is unwanted, the OP should have been clear about his intention for seeking response to a particular situation faced by an applicant.
My observation:
- There are many private and public universities and LACs that are considered equally good and comparable to Ivy League.
- “Exclusive” is not a term used by the students or the administrators at Ivy League.
- Not having adequate knowledge/understanding of the admission process is perfectly okay. However, trying to generate response of a likely non-existent situation is regrettable.
