Classy way to word DD's elite college acceptance without triggering public friends & family?

"Larla is headed to Yale next year" vs. "Larla, our brilliant and talented daughter, will matriculate at Yale. So grateful for the amazing education she received at fancy private, which has made it possible for her to rise about all the riffraff."

Thrilled the college search is finally over! Bitsy just accepted a spot at Yale. (Anyone got a moving van they are willing to loan us in August?)

Or say something like "I am so proud of Larla for working so hard the past few years to achieve her goals. She was recently accepted to her dream school and we wish her continued success." Don't name the school.

Actually...just skip it. Just let her wear a college sweatshirt in a few pics here and there and people will catch on. Or show a pic of you dropping her off in August.

that's lame. People would then just ask.

OP, just be proud. "My daughter is going to ___!!" is good enough.

I agree - and while we are on the subject - please, please don't inculcate in your DC that annoying habit of saying "oh I went to school in the Northeast" forcing the inevitable conversation of oh where? Boston? Oh, where? when she should have just said Harvard and be done with it - it's sooooo annoying. It makes others feel way more uncomfortable than just saying I went to Harvard/Yale/Columbia or wherever.

Usually they just say "college in Boston" which is code for Harvard.

Haha I like that. If it is Yale, do you say college in New Have, Conn? Because Southern Connecticut State University is there as well apparently.
