[quote=Anonymous]-- "It's not a bad idea to do the first two years at a community college on the cheap, then transfer to a more prestigious university." (Have fun with that!)  -[b]Yes, that can work very well.  The degree is the degree.[/b]

-- Some variation of "undergrad rank/prestige doesn't matter, only grad school matters." ( )  [b]There is a lot of truth to that.  And actually, I agree that prestige is the least of the many considerations that go into choosing the right college.[/b]

-- Boasting about all the APs their child is in, never mentions the AP exam scores. ( )  -[b]Don't know anyone who "boasts" about the number of AP exams, and no one I know reports their kid's scores.[/b]

-- "Emma is doing research this summer with a university biochemistry department." (Emma is currently taking AP chemistry.) -[b]Good for Emma![/b]

-- The passive aggressive "oh, I've heard that's a good school."  [b]Not sure what is passive aggressive about that, but I don't care what anyone thinks about my kid's school.[/b][/quote]
