[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that not many on this forum have empathy for Big 3 kids. That's fine and even understandable, but the nastiness is misplaced and not very nice. These are kids after all.

Plenty of these kids are on full financial aid or have parents working in gov't who sacrifice a LOT to send their kids to private school. Make no mistake, the real "rich kids" at these schools are fine. Their parents still make a donation, use their status/fame, or have a powerful pal make a call to the Ivy admissions office. Everyone sees it. Those aren't the kids who've gotten screwed once again this year. [/quote]

Look, it's not that there is a lack of empathy...it's just that we (at least I) know a bunch of families that claimed for years they picked their Big3 school for all these various reasons absolutely having nothing do with college...but actually it really was all about college and many are none too happy because they fall squarely into your demographic.  These families all live in the neighborhood and opted to sacrifice for the Big3 private school, while the rest of us were fine with public or a much cheaper Catholic option (even without being Catholic).

Public school parents complain about the same issue.[/quote]
