[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would secretly be upset if my child went to a state school. I would not openly freak out like OP is saying. [/quote]

Your kid is non secretly upset with your parenting. [/quote]

Actually my child has already said he does not want to go to UVA. He absolutely would also be upset if he did not get into a T10 school. I know how competitive it is so I’m trying to make him feel like he should be proud and happy to go to UVA.[/quote]

you somehow raised a really judgmental and status obsessed kid. Unfortunate. [/quote]

If you had a high stat motivated kid who has worked hard his entire life and shooting for the ivies, you and he would also be unhappy ending up at UVA.[/quote]

No, because I have the perspective to know that the motivation and hard work will lead to great success, regardless of the name on the bachelor degree diploma, but especially when that name is from a still very good school like UVA. And my kid would know this too.[/quote]

+1. imagine a kid so status obsessed that they believed going to UVA was some kind of consolation prize. I mean, really. [/quote]
