[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:  I wouldn't worry about any of that now. Proceed and apply.  Get in first!

Plus, if you already have this inferiority complex, then I would say any school will be an issue because you are the one making it an issue!  Honestly, I am saying this to you as someone who is lucky and do not need to worry about what you stated, and I have no issue of your situation (what should I? I'm not the one making the sacrifices).

When my DC was young he had a great friend at school.  He invited this friend over all the time and every time the mother would say something about what a great house we live in and that she is embarrassed to invite my DC over because they live in this tiny place etc etc.  honestly, she was the one making me uncomfortable.  Believe it or not my DC noticed that even as a K wondering why this friend doesn't invite him over because "it was a great house to play hide and seek!"

There will be some that will compare but that's probably because they are insecure about something else in their lives that they can't control.  There will be people like that everywhere, private or public but I think they are far and few!

As long as you and your DC are kind, that's good enough![/quote]
