[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in total agreement with you. Sadly, I think the majority of people here on this board are just way too obsessed with the Ivies and perceived prestige that they will not hear (want to hear) this message. [/quote]

I'd like to think the majority of people on this board have an appropriate appreciation of the top schools, a realistic understanding of the difficulty of getting into one now, enough grace to congratulate those who are happy their kids were admitted to one, and sufficient self-confidence and belief in their own kids to be happy with wherever their kids end up.

However, it's clear there's a significant minority of people who lack those traits, and their behavior manifests itself at both extremes - either acting like only Harvard and Stanford are worthy of recognition or doing everything they can to denigrate T20 schools constantly.  They tend to be more obsessed and more vocal, but if I felt they were really representative of the majority of people on this board I'd lose too much faith in humanity.  [/quote]
