[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Missing out on schools that are in the ivy league is absolutely fine! None of them guarantees a positive college experience and many (more?) are happier outside of very elite colleges due to mental health issues. The problem is having spent years "gunning to get into an ivy" as that warps your DC's idea of what success is (focus on status and brand) and robs them of many happy hours of childhood which is now gone. But hopefully they'll have more healthy school experience finally outside a competitive, elite college environment. Happier days are ahead for all of you. And that is worth celebrating.[/quote] well said![/quote]
