[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Good" schools are a status symbol among the kids. Some can't wait to add Yale or Stanford to their FB profile. I guess Harvard, too. [/quote] Kids should be rightfully proud of gaining admission to those schools. Dismissing it as a "status" symbol betrays your own insecurity and envy.[/quote] Let me guess Proud Parent, you encouraged junior to update his FB profile after he received the email acceptance. During my DC's graduation year, it was frowned upon to apply at Princeton with its lunch clubs, etc, it was viewed as uncool. The truth is most kids don't know very much about the schools that they apply to, they're more interested in name recognition for the bragging rights. [/quote]
