[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would much rather be friends with your less sophisticated brother than you.  His kids are probably really wonderful nice people who treat everyone the same, even those more sophisticated who can't seem to understand that they are probably a lot happier being less sophisticated than their family members who claim to be more sophisticated.

+1 for whatever reason they didn't want to talk with you about college applications. Your role now is to be supportive of where they are applying. If you really want to be in a position to help in the future, your mindset now is "local state university is awesome!" (I'm assuming that's the school you are currently looking down on since the most likely path for most students is to go to a nearby public university)

If you want to advise, you might advise on things to evaluate when choosing a school and how to be an effective student, like what are office hours and why you should go or let them know you'd be happy to help when they start applying for internships in the next couple years.[/quote]
