[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Posters obsess way, way too much about schools. [/quote]

What I have learned is when you are applying for college, you are competing with other students in your school for admission.

It’s better to go to a less competitive school and if your kid is really smart and does really well in school, they will shine.

Stop worrying about schools. [/quote]

My cousin was valedictorian at a mediocre HS.  He now attends an Ivy.  He is struggling.  His parents are wealthy and could have afforded private but they knew he would never be top (or close) of the class so put him in public HS and did all the sorts of extras (tutors, famous sports coach, consultants).

He is now surrounded by super wealthy international students (50-100+ million and billionaire kids) and now views the world how they do.  It is very depressing.

I told him to take easier classes this semester until he can get time management under control. My partner and some friends attended top Ivys and all seem to have a better grasp of life but maybe it is just because he is still young.
