Why the Ivies, Stanford, and MIT are Different from Other Top Schools

True, maybe a lot of these top tier schools are filled with HYP wannabes. But most of these students also end up happy with where they are.

<p>This to me is the great, underreported benefit of ED programs. They ensure the school is filled with students who are not thinking “if only I had gotten into Yale” but rather “I’m so happy I got into Penn/Brown/Duke/Emory/etc!”</p>
