[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was back in the early 2000s but I personally was rejected from top Ivies that my parents were willing to pay for, could not financially go to "lesser" "famous" schools that my parents were not willing to pay for, and ended up in a middle of the pack private school on scholarship. Used it as motivation to excel and am flourishing and very happy with where I am these days. Keep up the Rejection-to-Motivation pipeline guys and gals![/quote] How did you feel about your parents not willing to pay for a "lesser" school or that they paid for the middle of the pack, perhaps only because you had a scholarship? I'm asking because I hear parents who are full pay say, "I would never pay full price for that school" where their kid has been offered merit. I'm just wondering how that sounds to the kid. [/quote] +100 to this sentiment. [/quote]
