<p>S.Martin - don’t mean to hijack this thread, so it will be my last post, but are you saying that he’s just finishing his sophmore year at Middlesex and has already been admitted to Harvard, Penn, Columbia, etc. I’ve heard of early decision - just not that early.:)</p>
<p>As for the competativeness of Ivies - I’ve been doing alumni interviewing for Penn for the last couple of years so I have some firsthand knowledge of the accomplishments of those kids applying (including many who are rejected) and I will tell you they are very impressive.</p>
<p>But if you’ve managed to get your kid into Harvard, Columbia, Penn, etc. as a sophmore you clearly know something I do not - so I suppose I’ll have to defer to you.:)</p>
