[quote=Anonymous]"My family is Indian (South Asian) and my parents would have been very angry if I made it to Stanford and didn't choose to go. It's a matter of cultural values I think. As immigrants, we don't have the social capital of WASPs so we work our asses off to get into the best possible schools. No one asks "How does this school fit you?"- that's just weird." I have heard this before. Given my personality, despite being a WASP, I have always felt like I lacked "social capital" and fell back on hard work. Now, as I start to plan for retirement, I wonder if instead of working on my strength, I should have worked on my weakness?[/quote]
