[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]news flash no employer cares if you went to GT in elementary or a magnet in high school

quit helicoptering your special snowflake will be just fine

idiots on this board[/quote]

To be Devil's Advocate -

but they DO care what college you went to (sometimes) and those colleges DO care whether you took the "most challenging" courseload and did well, so, in actuality, some employers DO care if the child went to a magnet in high school... just sayin'.[/quote]

You don't need to here this but others do

If your kid is smart they will be fine

Also as you probably know, the real key to getting into the top 1% of jobs is mommy and daddy connections for internships

Point being all this obsession is unhealthy.  Since we are in the MD forum currently, if your kid is smart they will have no problem getting into UMD a great school with tons of great employers.  Now if you are trying to break into the top 1% see the point above.  And gasp there are plenty of great companies that take kids from say UMBC too.  And people wonder why their kids are so stressed/have issues.  Parents need too relax.   [/quote]
