<p>My DD sounds exactly like yours! And she did NOT apply to any Ivy’s even though the financial aid packages are known to be good. So far she has been accepted to WashU, UChicago, UIUC, USC and ND. Two of these schools have provided full tutition FA awards - so it is not only the Ivy’s that can come through with $$.</p>
<p>My DS was accepted to Rice 3 years ago and it was his dream school. They refused to negotiate on $$ so he is currently attending ND.</p>
<p>If your DD doesn’t want Ivy - why push it? She can do well elsewhere.</p>
