[quote=Anonymous]This is hard, I recently pulled admissions acceptance rates for 25 years ago just because I was curious and as expected acceptance rates were DRAMATICALLY higher. Just look it up and if you go back 30 years when many of us applied it is astounding to look at acceptance rates for T20 schools. It's helpful for older generations to understand this and bringing up the ivies is not helpful to kids. When you have a moment alone with the grandparents, share a few with them and how they compare to today to give them a little dose of reality. It's about finding a great school for your kid and celebrating his accomplishments and that is where you might help them focus if they want to be supportive. [/quote]
