[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are strivers at schools below T-50[/b] and there were strivers back in our day which I’m guessing is the 90’s for most parents on this board. It didn’t seem as prevalent during the pre-internet days. I’m second gen Asian-American. Our parents seemed striver-ish but a lot of it came from not knowing the system. My parents’ take on my kid’s college search was way open-minded than it was on mine, because they’ve been here long enough to know there are options outside T-50 and that even going to a T-50 school doesn’t come with guarantees. There have always been people who wear their drive/intellect on their sleeve and there have always been stealth achievers who fly under the radar. [/quote] There are, but there are fewer of them and the culture in particular is different. You can lean into the competition if you want but also take steps back from it more easily.[/quote]
