Fast American Girls- Why choose NC State over Ivy or Stanford?

One word : academics . Yes there are some very bright students at the Ivies but there is a reason they give the median 50% test scores, the bottom 25% are absolute morons who got in because their folks gave millions to the school . Think of the Ivy graduates in government these days : Trump , RFKjr , John Kennedy from Louisiana , Elyse Stefanik from upstate NEW York , all are absolute idiots who got into ivy leagues thanks to money . If 25% of your student body is low functioning and their families are giving most of the money to the school , you are going to go very light on the academics . That’s why the average gpa is like 3.75.

that’s not the case at NC State . They will fail your ass out because there are 3 students in the wings waiting for your spot, and they can afford the tuition !

Rich smart entitled, three pillars to get into Stanford. They are ranked in that order, but you need all of them anyways. Not every runner can fit in.

Nah, you only need one to get in. I didn't have rich or entitled.

no one ever asks where I went for undergrad wrote:

As a guy with a degree from an Ivy, I see no issue with choosing a non-Ivy. there are a lot of things to consider when picking a school and there is no reason to think that an Ivy League school is automatically the best fit over NC State or anywhere else.

When you don’t have the grades you go to NC State. It’s really that simple. It’s still a great place to be

She visited Michigan. and there's no way a runner like her gets turned down by any school (with the possible exception of MIT or Caltech) if the coach / team wants her
