[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean where an average kid won’t be bottom of class? Any school below T100. Anything above that will still have students trying to go to med school, law school, etc.[/quote]

WHAT? You are so tone deaf. Only a striver mom would say that schools below the top 100 don’t have students trying to go to med school, law school, etc.!! These are schools like Auburn, Loyola Marymount, Temple, University of Missouri, BYU, University of Tennessee, University of Arizona, University of South Carolina, VCU, JMU, University of Iowa, Elon, SDSU, University of Vermont, University of Alabama. All ranked below 100 and filled with smart kids aiming for law school and med school. [/quote]

I live in the South and know many happy, successful professionals who have gone to Auburn, Sewanee, Alabama, USC, UTK, and lesser-known regional colleges! Unless you’re planning on teaching at Yale, working at Goldman Sachs or clerking for the Supreme Court, it really doesn’t matter. [/quote]

The white girl who was tragically killed at Brown by the shooter was from Alabama and considered a brilliant, immensely talented kid (and probably full pay based on where she is specifically from and her parents’ jobs).

I assume if DCUM knew nothing about her, she would just automatically be derided as a striver because she wasn’t satisfied with attending Alabama or Auburn.
