[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t leave pre-kids, wait until your kids are in one of the 2000 student cut-throat schools*50 of them in the dmv. 
Stressful and total crapshoot applying to colleges around here.

But have fun with all the sports and arts cuts. Only <10% will make the cut! What a place to live.[/quote]

Well, if you make the <10% in podunk high school, flyover country, it still may not cut it either for an elite college.[/quote]
This isn’t 100% accurate. Elite schools also care about geographic diversity so it can actually be easier to get in from a state where there are less applicants. [/quote]

I was the shining star of a podunk high school, and got into elite Ivy. And barely survived freshman year bc I was in way over my head. I would rather my kids go to excellent high school, be middle of the pack, and then do stellar at VT or JMU. [/quote]

+10000000[/quote]

So you'd rather your kids have VT/JMU degrees over an Ivy degree?

Mildly curious. [/quote]

Interesting.  I went to a women's college and am doing better than most of my ivy league friends.  My classmates did everything that ivy grads did - wall street, law and medical school, etc.  Silicone Valley didn't exist.  I am a lawyer and worked in big law along with ivy graduates.  I seriously wonder whether it's really worth it unless you want to be a Supreme Court Justice.[/quote]

PP here - not Silicone, those are in my boobs :oops: [/quote]
