[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are excited that 'Jane' will be attending Radford in the fall vs We are excited that "Jane" will be attending Princeton in the fall??[/quote]

Why do people need to apologize about their child going to Princeton? My child will not be going to Princeton, but I can still be happy for those that got the school they wanted - Princeton or otherwise. Our neighbor's child is going to Yale. Very happy about it.[/quote]

Why are you "very happy" that your neighbor's kid is going to Yale?  I'll tell you why -- because that kind of stuff is very important to you.  That's how you measure people.  Odd.[/quote]

I honestly do not see why being happy for the neighbor is a bad thing?!?!?  It is a huge accomplishment - why are we trying to pretend that it isn't?  Would you feel the same way about someone qualifying for the Olympics, getting into Julliard, getting a role on Broadway, etc.?  These are all incredible accomplishments and it is fine to view them as such.  There are so many jealous haters on this board.

With respect to the original question, I think it is insensitive to announce college decisions in January since kids are still in the midst of it, but at graduation or at college drop-off, it is totally NORMAL to let folks know where your child is going and to be proud of them.  [/quote]
