My neighbor's daughter just graduated from Exeter, at the top of her class with nearly perfect SAT scores. She did not get in to the Ivy that her mom attended. In fact, she did not get into a number of lower tier schools, dispute her amazing resume, grades and track record. I've heard similar stories of disappointment...
It feels that the process is broken.
Did she get into a good college and will she be able to afford to attend? Hope so.
I don't see kids getting rejected from Ivy League schools as a broken process. People not understanding that there are many places to get a good education - that's a bigger problem.
