[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not enough for what?

If your kid doesn't get into a T20 school, what will they miss out on?

Grad school? No - in fact you can go from a totally middle-of-the-road undergrad program to an elite grad school.

A job? No. On the private school forum many hiring managers were recently saying their companies have demphasized certain schools in favor of individual applicant characteristics.

A joyful life? Check out Arthur Brooks' series in The Atlantic on what research says makes for a good life that one can look back on contentedly in old age and you won't find a T-20 college in there.

Take rigorous classes because they teach you things. Learn because learning matters for it's own sake and so you can do good in the world some day. Do extracurriculars because it's good to have hobbies and a great way to make friends and hopefully you love your activities. Let the GPA and college admissions chips fall where they may.[/quote]

Op here
I agree to ALL of the above.
Dh doesn’t. I feel like it’s so much pressure on ds.[/quote]
