[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids a year apart, first is at an Ivy and second is at an average school as he does better being a big fish in a little pond. He is smart too and I think people expected him to go to a higher ranked school. I’ve been really cognizant of peoples remarks when asked, and I honestly don’t think either got much. People didn’t react overly positive to Ivy, it almost feels like you can’t be proud and have to underplay it. They also didn’t really respond with anything noticeable with second. Most people are too in their own heads to really care one way of another. This is worst time as it’s constant topic and you have all this anticipation. They may just love it and be the star of the show. Others that were very happy with school will be met with challenges and they’ll see it’s not all rosy anywhere. Hang in there! [/quote]
