Wow...this is so far from the truth and reality that it's crazy.

You are mentally ill if you think Towson is embarrassing. Hopefully you seek treatment and your kids don’t end up like you.

No, I'm not, you are though. The OP's feelings are more than justified.

Bullshit

You're clearly not in society or something if you're so far off the deep end you can't see reality for what it is.

Are you drunk already, sweetie? Enough of your bullshit.

You are exactly the class of person I would except to be associated with a school like Townson. You are part of the reason why it is embarrassing!!!

I have no association with Towson, sweetie! You’re still full of shit.

Sorry you can't afford to be embarrassed because Townson is the best your people could ever do.

Take note folks, the true colors are coming out!! This poster really is scum.

You were the troll who said Towson wasn't embarrassing to anyone and no one could ever think that (a lie).

You literally can’t even articulate what’s wrong with Towson.

I have to make an argument for why a school with an 1100 SAT average and an 80% admit rate is embarrassing for a kid who scored 1480 on the SAT?

Please enlighten us, you claim to be around such brilliant friends that are rich. Why exactly is Towson embarrassing? Be specific, don’t get shy now.

To be blunt, you'll be associated with dumb people for the rest of your life. People will assume you're kind of an idiot and you'll constantly be trying to prove that you're at least of average intelligence.

Towson is also a poor school. In terms of students and the families they come from, yes, but also institutionally. Its endowment per student is less than 10k...which is abysmally low.

Someone with a 1480 should probably be going to a school at least as good as Tulane...Towson is a huge disappointment.

Let me know if you want more information.

Why are you worried about what people will think of you? Why’s wrong with being around the true middle class? Seriously.

It's not even that there's necessarily anything wrong with being around those people who you call the true middle class (I think more likely they are of the lower class but I digress.) It's that a 1480 clearly would probably fit in better amongst better people and the people at Towson are likely not their intellectual peers.

Who exactly are “better people” and why would this matter?

For example, at UVA the median SAT is 1470. Those students.

It matters because those are the people you're going to be associated with for the rest of your life once you graduate. Your resume will only have the school name, not your SAT score.

+1 The parents are pretty uninformed about college financing. It's not like it was 20-30 years ago. Towson is OK, but doesn't reflect their son's GPA/test scores. I'm surprised he isn't more upset about it.

Absolutely. A kid with a 1400, never mind a 1480, should not be going to a place with an 1100 SAT median with only 20% even submitting scores at all.

Agreed. It’s not that Towson is necessarily bad, but the kid had stats to aim much higher. I hope he got a scholarship to Towson at least.

Yet the kid can still be happy and successful at Towson and beyond, no?

Certainly, but let’s be honest, it’s perfectly normal to be disappointed in a situation like this.

Why would someone be disappointed if their kid is happy and successful?

[Anonymous]

All of you who think going to Towson is embarrassing, you should be embarrassed about your attitudes.

Because Towson is below their station. A 1480 shouldn't be going to a school where the average student is an 1100.

Why? Seriously, is the kid is happy and successful, what’s the problem?

So they’re not “better people” they just have higher test scores, right?

People who have higher test scores are better people, at least in terms of intellect.

News flash. Where they go to school makes absolutely zero difference on anything they do. It's all conspicuous consumption. No one asks once your kid is in college and literally no one cares after. Get over yourself. This post was so embarrassing to read.

Maryland has few choices? What? There’s a college every five minutes here. Good grief, people are full of it.
