[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has good grades as a rising senior.  Took the ACT today.  My kid has no interest in ivy or top 10-20 schools.  Kid wants the rah rah of sports and a large state school experience .  Only 70ish kids will be in graduating class from HS.

I'm excited for our kid to do whatever they do.  Im excited about the choice of the school that he/she may love!

We are so happy that our kid is picking schools for their future.

Do you feel differently?  Do you have a role in choosing schools for your kids?  Or certain expectations ?[/quote]

Ours had the smarts to be at T15/ivy and both loved them when we toured and hated big schools. Both had too many sports-are-everything prep school peers, wanted student athletes not to dominate all conversations and social structures. Both ended up T10 and a different one than I went to, and loved it. We encouraged T15/ivy because our experiences in college made it clear to us it was the better path for them, considering how they learn and think. [/quote]
