[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, yes, because we emphasize academics, believe the education, classmates, and overall experience is superior at an excellent school, and have kids with the expected stats. That said, a parent can’t expect the unreasonable. If your kid isn’t taking a rigorous curriculum, getting excellent grades, scoring a 34/1500 on the ACT/SAT, then it’s not realistic to expect admission to prestigious college. In that case, one can’t be embarrassed about something that was never obtainable. [/quote] But excellence and prestige are not necessarily the same thing.[/quote] True dat. My DC wants to ED Carleton. One of her friends Moms (who doesn’t have the best social skills) asked why she’d apply to a school no one had ever heard of. Excellent SLAC. Not necessarily prestigious in the DMV. [/quote] Kinda like UVA is not necessarily prestigious outside the DMV.[/quote]
