[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who claim donut hole and are angry that they only have 130k in an account —are you also stomping your feet that you can’t afford the 2M mansions in the other town? Do you ping away at what you cannot have? Or are you happy that you have a good home in a solid town. Because you are indeed able to afford a good education via state universities. I swear college admissions is the only area where this nonsense comes into play. For everything else in life you buy what you can afford in your budget and move one. Why do you think you are entitled to a high priced private college. You have 100s even 1000s of colleges available to you via public universities. [/quote]

I think the difference is people still see Ivies and top schools as a sign of excellence and achievement, and it's about education and not being a showoff in a mansion. So yes, it makes sense someone would be upset because their A+ perfect scores SAT kid cannot attend due to being in that not rich/not poor spot whereas another child with the same equal qualifications can go because they have rich grandparents or are very poor. Before you attack, this isn't our kids/case (good student going to state school), but I absolutely can see why there would be a moment of "this sucks for me" for some people. I think as more and more people do state/cheaper schools, things are going to change in terms of perception of prestige. It might already be happening.[/quote]
