[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's some wisdom in this Grown and Flown essay about our kids college choices and how to discuss them. https://grownandflown.com/stop-explaining-daughters-choice-local-state-school/[/quote]

Thank you for this link. It describes my situation! And there are some great responses on here--and some tone-deaf ones...[/quote]

If your kid got a full scholarship and was admitted into the school's honors program I do not think that you are obligated to keep that to yourself.  It's no less a point of pride than saying "My kid got into (insert much coveted flagship school)."

It just goes to show that two strong students with more or less equal stats could wind up choosing to attend completely different schools for different and equally compelling reasons.  Usually the kids do a great job weighing the pros and cons of their decision and have really well thought out reasons for their choices.  And of course we are proud of our kids and the good decisions that they make for themselves.
