I would imagine the "are you kidding me you can get into that school!" list is the top 3 or 4 schools of US News WR that have competitive lax.
For my kid it would be:
Stanford, Duke, NU, Ivies and a few others
You and the rest of the wealthy and private school kids.
Why is that your answer? We are not wealthy and my kid goes to a public school. The Ivies give the best need aid of all colleges and the others have just as many scholarships as everyone else. Unless your in-state schools are a good match, why would you not think these schools are amazing opportunities??
Your the exception, look at the commit lists for these schools.
well i don't know a lot of the kids but 2 that i do know that r committed to Ivies are both public school kids. I guess they are not the majority, but lax is generally a pretty high class demographic to begin with. And w aid packages and scholarships (at non-ivies), if the kid has the grades, these places seem pretty good to me. By no means the only places. I don't want to be accused of snobbery. Was just responding to the poster that asked what the "are you kidding me you can get into that school!" list for people was. That is mine for my kid.
