Re: Help. FIRST and Ivy Leagues.
My theory on applications to the Ivy League's is that it's a bit like playing the lottery; it's mostly luck if you get in. Now, I don't think it has anything to do with you not being a qualified applicant. Instead, Ivy League schools get lots of qualified applicants. This means that it ends up being a bit random as to who is selected to go. Perhaps that's just my take on things.

I should also note that neither MIT nor Cal Tech are Ivy League schools.

Matt
