[quote=Anonymous]My brother and I both went to the same top HYPM university (or whatever the hell that acronym is). My mom HATED this question. If you're the parent, the only appropriate response is "They worked hard and were self-motivated." The fact that my father pushed the hell out of us was never mentioned, because, d'uh, if other parents were asking, they too either pushed their kids or were just making polite small-talk. If you're the student -- something vague about how you're really lucky that you were accepted to your dream school. And then shut up about it. Of course, these were in the olden days when you didn't have to be perfect at absolutely everything academically and a nationally ranked athlete to get into a very good college. [/quote]
