[quote=Anonymous]Again it all boils down to rankings. I am assuming OP is referring to UMD as the 50-60 ranked school their DC got into with merit and honors. The assumption that kids attending UMD or another similarly ranked school are ‘less’ than the ones attending higher ranked school is seriously flawed. There are several ‘meh’ students who got into Brown, Cornell, Penn etc this year at my DC’s school. So no those schools are not filled with ‘better’ students. They are in because of legacies. They are not better in any way than those who decided to go to UMD. Its this flawed thinking that is making OP and her kid sad. Trust me i was OP 3 years ago. I learned my lesson when my high stats kid got shut out and ended up at UMD. He was in no way less than the kids who got into so called higher ranked schools. He met some extremely smart kids at UMD and has a whole new perspective on life now. [/quote]
