[quote=Anonymous]What UMC or even 1%'s know is that life at that place is not stable and there is no certainty that your kids can maintain it. Why do they know this? They see this every day. You may make 800k and be well to do but how do your kids get there if they have the ability? There is a way and top colleges are not the answer but they a part of the answer. There can be a million studies where it shows that where you go to college makes no difference but UMCers see this up close every day that it can -- not that it does but that it can make a difference. That is what drives them, not appearances, not bragging but that advantage big or small. They know it can make the difference. I have never been caught up with this because 1 DC had a path they wanted to follow that was different and the other is a top student and a recruited athlete who could go whereever they wanted. Top 25 was easy. But I understand what the other parents are trying to do.[/quote]
