[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As in, UVA is their end all be all, it's all they've ever wanted, the kids are all brainwashed fanatics. It's a great school but isn't this a bit narrowminded? Dd got into Northwestern or Cornell last year and I recall a UVA obsessed mother up at the school chomping at the bit to tell me her daughter got into UVA -- so she asked me dd's plans first. It was like Northwestern and Cornell didn't even register and she quickly came over the top with "dd is going to VIRGINIA." I'm not judging, I'm just trying to understand the ethos which creates that fixation and holds it in such high esteem. To these families is there an aversion to going out of state, are the Ivys or Northwester, etc. even on their radar AT ALL?[/quote] Why do you feel the need to share this NOW, months after it happened?[/quote]
