<p>The whole thing is crazy. My child applied to 4 Ivies (all urban locations - she would have been thrilled to attend any of them) and of the four, thought her best shot was Penn. I actually thought it was her best application and that her "Why Penn" essay was outstanding. She was accepted to 2 of the 4 - not Penn.</p>
<p>And Coureur - unlike your daughter, she had nothing in common with her Harvard interviewer ... she actually did not think she had a good interview at all! Of the four interviews - her Penn one was by far the best. Go figure.</p>
