I examine applying to Ivy League Schools and the absurd lengths some parents and students will go to gain admission. As a faculty member at such an institution and having earned three degrees from one, I feel uniquely positioned to advise, calm, and tell the truth behind ivy walls. Look at the battle royal amongst parents to gain entry into the "right" nursery school to get into Harvard. As someone who's experienced and seen it from all sides, I highlight the comic as well as the tragic.
