[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's jealousy. I feel it, too. But here's the thing. If someone posts a proud announcement about their kid going to some 80%+ acceptance rate school, I don't feel scornful. It's only the ones posting about the elite schools that make me annoyed. So I recognize that about myself. I grit my teeth and comment "Wow wow wow! How proud are you! Congratulations to the whole family!" And then I silence further notifications about the post. :)[/quote]

Yikes. Really? My kid got in unhooked to an Ivy. He didn’t post on the school Instagram and I didn’t post on mine (very small set of followers anyways).

It’s disheartening that people take it that way. He did put a sticker on the car.  It’s kind of crazy it’s ok for anyone in a school below T20 to do- but other kids are t supposed to show any school pride. [/quote]

Stickers on the car is so pretentious.  [/quote]

Really? My ODU sticker is pretentious?

It’s only pretentious to you when it’s a school ranked higher than the one your child was accepted to.  Let’s be real.[/quote]

This. Your Ivy sticker is offensive to me. I can’t handle it.  It’s like when TJ wouldn’t announce NMS finalists (even to the kids) because other kids would feel bad. Whaaaaahhhh[/quote]
