Have any of you seen the show Ivy Dreams?

<p>They should make one with all you juniors lol</p>

<p>^Thatā€™s a great idea!</p>

<p>Damn, I just watched this and their schedules are nothing compared to half of the stuff I see posted here, lmao.</p>

<p>I felt so badly for the girl who got a 760 on both of her SAT IIs and then her dad was like ā€œEhā€¦ you could rav got duh 8 hrundredā€.</p>

<p>That kid Mike should have just died. Yea, I got a 1400 both times and still expected to get in to Columbia. Oh yea, I also didnā€™t FINISH THE APPLICATION.</p>

<p>I looked it up on youtube and the segments were only about 5 minutes long. Was this show a series or a one-time thing?</p>

<p>I think it was only an hour long documentary, but Iā€™m not completely sure.</p>

<p>Mike graduated from West Chester and currently works in Dance Choregraphy. I know people who go to West Chester and know Mike.</p>

<p>What ever happened to the thread, Ivy Dreams-CC Edition?</p>

<p>When they were telling their Subject test scores, I was like ā€œyeah, their dreams ainā€™t comin trueā€</p>

<p>Well, it was filmed in 2005, so itā€™s a bit outdated.</p>

<p>I wanna see a new series. I watched it this morning around 4 believe it or not. I donā€™t know why or how i came across this show though.</p>

<p>This show pops up as a suggested if you are watching other ivy-related videos. I am glad I chanced upon it because I really liked the show and could relate. Mike seemed like a really nice guy and I admire what he did for his family. </p>

<p>Some of the stuff was cringe worthy, for example showing up late to an interview, the Penn interview (forget the girls name), or using ā€œstreet-smartsā€ in an essay.</p>

<p>I know there is a ā€œCC Ivy Dreams 2013ā€ going onā€¦</p>

<p>I really wish they would do a follow up documentary on some of these people.</p>

<p>Sophie is the perfect example of what not to do (attitude-wise). I mean come on, writing about National Honor Society in your essay? Thats literally the most boring topic ever.</p>

<p>They made us watch this in health!</p>

<p>yeah I watched it. It made me sad that these kids have so much pressure. Itā€™s like getting into a top university defines their identity.</p>

<p>@notatigercub</p>

<p>Mikeā€™s last name is Nguyen.</p>

<p>Hereā€™s a follow up on the four students -
Sophie ended up going to John Hopkins for graduate school and studied in Nanjing for a brief time.
Mike graduated from West Chester University and currently works in dance choreography. A friend of mine went to college with him.
Michelle graduated with a BA in Government and East Asian Studies and works in Philadelphia.
Diana majored in Statistics and works in New York.</p>
