[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It matters for my child's future. UVA has nothing to offer for real UMC families. It is great if you want to go into menial careers like engineering or accounting. DC needs a fulfilling career that doesn't just run you stir crazy to make money for others. It has been successful for his siblings who are at Yale and Stanford. I recognize the importance of public education for the lower class and social mobility purposes and that's wonderful for them.

You are an insufferable snob. Go away. [/quote]
Another poor underling. I hope one day you can see beyond UVA and see where the elites play and learn. Nothing more sad than seeing poverty eat those in public institutions alive, but I’m sure a secretary position will work wonders for your dc.[/quote]

You know nothing about my family, so let me share. My high stats kid - valedictorian, 4.0 UW, 5.2 W, 1560 SAT (no prep whatsoever), NMF, full IB Diploma + AP, niche sport team captain (state level), accomplished string instrumentalist (state level), long term ECs, part-time CS job, awards galore…I can go on and on was inundated with unsolicited mail from Harvard, Yale, Penn, Cornell, MIT, Vanderbilt, UChicago, Duke, Columbia, NYU, Pamona, Swarthmore…well you get the picture, chose a school for fit not for bragging rights; however, trust me the school chosen has both. And please indulge me while I share a bit more. My kid’s personal brokerage account alone affords them the opportunity to consider career paths without having to contemplate salaries. And as for inheritance, kid is set for life. You are a small man. [/quote]
