[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, what I am reading here is a lot of moral superiority tossed with competitiveness and jealousy. If you’re going to be so above it all don’t get down in the mud. And the thing is, a lot of those mud slingers don’t even know that you’re in the mud or they’re in the mud. They were always going to go to those schools because of legacies, connections, it’s next door to their house, whatever and what have you. We got into all of the top three schools from a public and we don’t have any of the same  ew gross feelings. And we aren’t envisioning an Ivy League anything. This is kindergarten. You’re simultaneously projecting, judging based on those projections, and justifying. Quit thinking others are thinking like you and about you this much. They’re not. And move along already.

OP here. Shoot, bummer that it came off that way! I really feel great about how things ended up, though I didn’t previously. If I ever had a sense of superiority, it was probably before the process began when I was confident I’d stay focused on what really matters. I lost track of that and I’m not proud of it. I think I would have benefited from hearing this perspective a year ago. But I’m genuinely happy with how things ended up for us - and also very happy for those who are equally happy at their schools of choice! [/quote]
