[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is all performance based theatre. Parents want the same or better for their kids but fail to factor in population growth and demographic changes. They went to the top 50, 60, 70, etc., schools when admission rates were near or over 50%. Now that top schools can be in the single digits they are stressed that Larlo and Larla won’t end up at a highly ranked school like they did. Most can’t afford to put a name on a building at their old school, so kid is out of luck from a legacy standpoint. So you get to see the angst on DCUM. [/quote] Yes, if instead they recognized that they went to a college that accepted 65% of students and so it is fine for their kids to go to a college of similar selectivity, they would see there are so many great options and the process can be about discovering interesting places and finding the right fit vs a stressful misery.[/quote]
