[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope to god that in 4 years when my kid is applying to colleges I am not this nuts. [/quote]

These threads are usually from people who don't have kids going through the process (you quickly learn how meaningless these list are) or quibbling Ivy grads stuck in glory days.[/quote]

A lot of truth there. Over the last few years I've read posters who are so definitive about x, y, and z in admissions, points that seem much less relevant to someone with DCs going through the process, and then they acknowledged that their kids graduated in the early aughts up to 2017 or so.

And the glory day folks - my SIL is one. In her mind, even though I attended an Ivy for grad, that cannot compensate for my undergrad at a "no name" LAC and our children are only redeemed because her brother (same alma mater) is their father. She has been fairly successful in her own right as well as a great mom and wife, yet she cleaves on to her alum status as if that stands between her and the after life. [/quote]
