[quote=Anonymous]I’m not from a particularly well-off family and my parents realLy didn’t emphasize academic excellence. I have a lot of siblings (8). My dad barely graduated from high school and only got into college because of the GI bill. My mom is very intelligent, read to us a lot, let us watch Sesame Street, bought a lot of books, etc, but she wasn’t over the top about it. 4 of us went to 4 different schools on this list. 3 ivies and one private. We did all get recruited because of sports. But still, seeing how competitive it is now just to get into a school like GMU, I cannot believe that half of the kids in my family went to these...prestigious...schools. We’re all doing well. Only one of my siblings didn’t go to college, but he is a contractor and does well financially. I’m not sure why I’m posting here, I guess I’m just astonished at how well we all did academically when it just simply was NOT emphasized at all in my home.[/quote]
