[quote=Anonymous]I'll try to be nice, OP, but even as an Asian "Tiger Parent", I've never understood why people have this goal for their kids. I value education for its intrinsic value, not so that my kids can get into a particular university. I don't think any one university is worth all this effort! I don't spit on prestige at all - my vanity would be tickled if my second child attended a famous brand name college - but I view it more as "if it happens, it happens" kind of thing, because I know it's a lottery so why would we agonize over this? My second child is gifted and extremely capable, and has a stellar resume, but I still know it's a lottery. MOST OF IT IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. I hope you didn't brainwash and stress out your kid too much. [/quote]
