In the end she was really worried that the place she liked the most would be a back up for the in-state students (who are 80%) were compelled to attend bc of cost. I think this was in part bc she was offered honors/merit at our in state school and felt this way herself but really wanted to go away. She wound up at a private school which wasn’t what she had originally planned.

what an incredibly snobby and entitled child you raised

Np. I kind of get it because my daughter was so happy to go to her first choice but was kind of bummed that all of her friends had been rejected by their top ivy/elite choice so they always had a chip on their shoulders about never being totally happy with their school.

Not a big deal, of course, but real.

It’s delusional to believe that the in-state kids at the state flagship have a chip on their shoulders! You people REALLY need to get out of your bubbles.

It's actually.. not that crazy of a thought. You don't think there are in-state kids at somewhere like Michigan that got into private schools and didn't attend due to cost that are peeved about it?

Maybe a few of course. But this originally came up as someone claiming that it was somehow pervasive that kids at a state flagship all go around moping because they are not at Yale. Absurd.

That’s how I read it as well. The overwhelmingly majority of instate Michigan kids who attend Michigan aren’t peeved in the slightest thst they didn’t get into a private school. There are very, very few private colleges that are Michigan’s level. Now if you mentioned OOS students, that would be more believable.

It’s more at UGA and UF where tuition is paid by the state and students can’t turn that down. Also they have 80-90% in state.
