[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell me your adult child’s success story if they didn’t go to Ivy or Ivy+ college. In need of perspective from more experienced parents here. I am mom of HS junior and [b]DC’s friends (from school, family , sports etc) who are seniors are all heading to Ivy and Ivy+ colleges. [/b]The obsession with prestige is real in this area. All these kids and their parents are so impressed with themselves. My DC is worried they won’t get into this type of school and they will be ‘the loser’ of the bunch despite my efforts to tell them that isn’t how it works. But it is getting to me too and I am becoming more anxious than I want to be. These parents constantly make comments when I mention schools my child hopes to get into with ‘oh that was my DC’s safety school - no one goes there unless they have to’. Sigh. [/quote] If this is actually true, then you kind of set yourself up for this when you chose the environment in which to raise your kid.[/quote]
