[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps, what’s really going on is disappointment regarding the result of years of private schooling costs. Essentially, the poster’s current college choices are no better than those of top kids from VA public high schools. Admission to Yale or Princeton or Williams or Amherst would have provided the snob factor the poster and their child were looking for. William and Mary, though a great school at a great price, is a consolation prize for such attitudes. I think the message for your daughter and yourself is that high-achieving and ambitious people are everywhere, not just at snobby outposts. Perhaps, it will be good for your daughter to hang-out with smart students in an environment of greater socioeconomic diversity. [/quote] This. Your daughter wasn’t admitted to the “club” of her choice. You’re whining about prestige and self-image, not education quality. [/quote]
