2024 Washington DC area College commits

[Anonymous]

As an educator in a public school, many of our students get into great schools, but many struggle in college because they don't have the study skills needed for college. So, it is not just about getting into a school, but also how well they can handle the rigors of college.

Bingo. Desperate striver public school parents who troll this forum every waking day will never get it. In addition to the rigor, there are social components as well. Is your kid polished and confident enough to handle their own in mixer settings with professors and influential alums? Will they make fast friends with the rich kids who frankly control these prestigious campuses? Will wealthy and smart classmates date them (and marry them after college)? One public school boy we know who went to Princeton says he felt like he just existed there; he made literally no good friends and never felt like he belonged. He does fine career-wise, but it is just a ho-hum government job any state schooler could get. He ended up marrying a girl from his high school who went to a local nursing school.

This is funny because I know two Ivy alums (married to each other) that are both in ho hum government jobs anyone could get.

One if not both have trust funds. And their kids will be dual legacies. And their social circle is full of fellow Ivy alums which would never welcome you. Minor details, dear.

Wow - this was not a good look!

I would have stopped with rigor....and maybe point out it is the type of rigor. The work our kids get at private and the way in which they are evaluated is less rote than our public. And there is so much more put into learning to write. That doesn't mean the public school kids are less smart and for those going into science/math - they are probably just fine with a W school.

Yes yes definitely do this so your kids can date and marry for "wealthy and smart" rather than for love.

Marrying for love may be considered the norm here, but plenty of other cultures view the institution much more transactionally.

So they can start the cycle of ho-hum jobs all over again? Makes sense.
