Class of '26 Instagram College Decisions

[Anonymous]

Can we please move on. Are you all OK with these comments this neanderthal is making? Is this really informing your opinions. I wish people could be banned from this site.

Is there something else we can talk about. How about those Knicks?

Any school claiming to be 2T would have Harvard and Yale. Certainly not San Diego state and uconn

is it fair to assume your DC go to the specialized schools in NYC?

No. If it came between Trevor and a specialized public then the latter every single time. I'd invest the 70k a year in the S&P and after 13 years each kid would have a couple million to buy a house and have some leftover as a cushion. That is a much better value than the eyerolls they'd get walking around the UES in a Trevor sweatshirt.

Your comment says more about you than others. NYC has the most corporate HQ in the country with many executive roles that pay well. In addition, there are many families with generational wealth. You crying about spending $70k a year just means you are poor.

San Diego State has got a 36% acceptance rate which is lower than - say - an acceptance rate at SMU (which regularly appears in TT instagram pages).

All schools have got stronger students and less academic students. Smaller all-girls schools (B, S) may be an exception but co-ed schools send students to a very broad range of colleges.

No one from a TT is going to Sd state. CA publics are heavily subsidized and the state has a massive population, hence why almost all its public four years have lower acceptance rates. CA ranks very low in public education, so it has a ton of unqualified applicants.

How many people on this board aside from you do you think care that much about that school? More than 2? This particular branch of the discussion seems completely exhausted, let’s move on.

Honestly, who cares. I would rather send my dd to marymount and hope she enjoys her experience. TT kids look like they spent their childhood trapped inside a study room. Chances are most of the TT kids will never surpass their parents success and will need therapy once they realize school is not the real world.

Child at a TT is certainly not “trapped inside a study room”. Child and their friends are able to finish homework during free periods at school most of the time. They spend most of the time after school and weekends on sports, other interests and hanging out with friends. TT select their students carefully. They are not the private SHSAT schools. They want the kind of kids who can excel academically AND pursue other interests.

A quick LinkedIn search would dispel you of that notion

Do people list their high schools on linkedin? Barely anyone ever cared about my undergrad.

Depends on where you grew up but I don't see the harm. I grew up in an upper middle class suburb of NYC so occasionally bump into people who either went to my HS or now live in that community so it doesn't hurt.

If it’s a TT or elite boarding school then yes they do most of the time.

People list all types of information. When you are privileged you are no longer bounded by normal logic. You will see people list HS, random internships that have nothing to do with their major (but rather parents career field), stop working at an early age and enjoy their trust fund, etc...

Jack Schlossberg is recently on the news over the topic.

I wonder if his parents considered Trevor and, if not, why?

This has been our experience as well.

Where do your kids go to school?
