.

There are eight Ivy League schools.

Each school is so different from the other, I can't understand why a kid would apply to all 8...other than just wanting to go to an Ivy--which, if you're a non-athlete, doesn't really matter.

Even my friends from other Southern cities weren't caught up in the admissions madness the way that Northeastern Corridor kids are. It's tough because some of the good public high schools here will have 250 kids in a class applying to a school...and they won't all get in.
