[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she’s looking for someone to have children with, not just hang out with, it matters.

So much of the parenting experience in high school is about college. If my husband didn’t understand that we needed to do tours, [b]possibly reach out within our alumni network (or he himself doesn’t have an alumni network…)[/b], help with applications etc. that just means that more is the work is on me. I chose my husband looking for a partner, not just a date.

Also, this is a small sample size but I have found men to be INCREDIBLY defensive about education. Men who don’t go to the Ivies put them down, belittle people who go there to an extent I’ve never heard anyone from the Ivies degrade someone who hasn’t (though they do degrade the other Ivies). I don’t want my kids hearing how REAL education means ________ and thereby learning to diminish their mothers accomplishments. [/quote]

Is this the 1950s? What do expect to accomplish by reaching out to your alumni network on behalf of your high school student? Either they are a legacy or they are not, either they are a legacy with a parent who donates or they are not. Your big sister from DG calling up admissions because she remembers you fondly and your kid would be a great fit isn't doing anything [/quote]

Are you not in any alumni associations? I’m guessing no.  They hold events for prospective students, they do interview prep, they help organize meetings between students and professors they might find interesting, and they have scholarships. Between my husband and myself we are in four. Our kids can only go to one school. Helping them figure out their best fit is a value add of the alumni network. [/quote]
