Yes, I am.  My nephew for example is the oldest and with his stats, really similar to my kid, I think he is in the top few kids at his school.  It also just seems easier for him in terms of stress and competition versus the close in dmv schools.  It also is just so different culturally… where most kids in my child’s peer group are wanting to go to these top most selective schools my nephews peer group is mostly aspiring to go to Ute, byu, Arizona or maybe one of the uc schools.

Put things in perspective. You could have lived in rural Utah, but obviously you decided that surburban DC made more sense for your family. Your kids have had a very different upbringing than their cousins on many levels. 
Don't hone in on this theoretical way that your choice of a hometown could influence where they go to college. That is not helpful to anyone.

Focus on helping YOUR kids identify likely, target and reach schools where they could be happy. Stop being competitive with your own family members.  
It is not a good look.[/quote]
