Ugh, this gives me a headache (and we are a year past the college admissions process, after the crazy-making high school admissions process in NYC, after the crazy-making NYC middle school admissions process, etc., etc., ugh!). We did list schools alphabetically on the FAFSA. My daughter was rejected by the school listed second (alphabetically) and last. But this is crazy talk.
If it’s such a problem for admission to the Ivies, why did it come out that several kids (maybe 10?) were admitted to all of them this year? And those are just the ones we know about.
