I guess it shows my ignorance, as a parent, I've never heard of a "Little Ivy." Or maybe its because we live in the west. Out of curiosity, did your school counselor and/or you have to sign an agreemenent to accept at the Ivy school if accepted? I thought early decision schools required you and your counselor to agree in advance to accept the admission if offered. As I recall, my DD was not able to apply to early admission schools when she applied to SAs because she and her counselor could not sign the required agreement that she would attend if offered the position. I know counselors at my DD's school made clear that they would only sign these agreements if they were sure the student would fulfill their obligation if accepted because it puts the school and counselor in a bad spot if too many students renige on their agreement. Even if I'm wrong, the suggestions to call the Ivy school (and talk to your counselor if appropriate) seem best.
