[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kind of understand where you're coming from. We moved to DC from a mid-sized Midwestern town two years back, when my son was a rising junior, and looking at the college list it DOES kind of disappoint me. Kids that I know were good students are going to state directionals or even community college...I think the best school on the list was Uw-Madison, the state flagship. And this is at a school that has always been on those 'most challenging HS's' list, Newsweek, etc.[/quote] Most kids are not UPenn/Stanford/insert top 10 material and as a PP above says I think people really do underestimate what it takes to get into those places and don't plan properly. So then by the time 12th grade rolls around their choices aren't as impressive as you'd expect even at the top high schools.[/quote]
