<p>Yes, I am new to CC. Someone directed me here from another site because my son is a high school junior thinking of applying to Ivy’s. </p>
<p>A lot of what I’ve read in CC is pretty outlandish and ridiculous. Not all of life is fixed in NYC. Plenty of people have perfectly successful careers at highly reputable firms/companies without going to an Ivy league school and working in NYC. But you wouldn’t know that from CC. So I’m not surprised that my observations from real life practice of law doesn’t mesh with your fixed dogma here. </p>
<p>Feel free to disregard any facts that do not identically match your specific life observations and go back to your collective groupthink.</p>
