<p>I totally agree with davnasca -- You are the one putting the pressure on your child. It is ok to take a shot at the ivies, but there are tons of schools that might actually be a better fit.</p>
<p>you posted previously that if you child got into the University of Chicago and Harvard, you would tell them that you would only pay for Harvard.</p>
<p>I hope some time and the realities of the college admissions process kick in and you support your student rather than add to the pressure that comes with the process.</p>
