<p>Don’t make statements out of nothing if you can’t back it up. While there are probably applicants to ivy schools that did do this, there are plenty who do not.
And there are students who do this in there applications to non-ivy schools, so don’t even try to use this generalization as proof that ivy’s are not great schools filled with smart kids.</p>
