[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is just flat out a jerk. Parents all brag about their kids. You love them and you are proud of them! Especially when they are about to go off to college. And maybe the kid likes to play sports. The negativity you have is about you, not the braggy parent. [/quote] +100 Also, the flip side of elite schools being harder to gain admission to is non-elite schools getting a lot of great kids. And there are many D3 schools that aren’t super well known (no name to some people) that are very respectable and a fantastic fit for some great kids who will thrive as bigger fish in smaller ponds: Sewanee, Kalamazoo, Hampden-Sydney, F&M, Oberlin, Denison, Conn. College, to name a few. Basically, if your skill at a sport becomes a hook that helps you gain admission to a school that would otherwise turn you down, then that is an enviable/impressive accomplishment.[/quote]
