[quote=Anonymous]OP - Maybe some are "obsessed" with ivies but even on DCUM I don't thing there are many like that. There are many that would want their child to have that option/opportunity if he/she has the credentials to be competitive for it  -- and I see nothing wrong with that. I am state flagship U graduate from a lower middle class/working class type family.   I did well there -- it gave me a path to a good law school, a large law firm,  partnership, etc.  I can't complain.  But it was only after my DC began attending an ivy that I learned out on what I missed in college.

DC has already had opportunities that I am sure today's students at my flagship don't know exist.  And he is surrounded by an astonishing number of accomplished kids. Yes, there are the stereotype rich kids that can be obnoxious and disconnected, and there are the stereotype liberal activists who never met an issue that didn't cry out for immediate and frequent protest, but most of the kids are as nice as at any other school, just very smart, interesting, and some wickedly funny.[/quote]
