They sound really stupid and so do you, for being proud of them.

1. College decisions should have nothing to do with who you're dating and where they're going.

2. It's only application time. They're not sure they're even getting in, but I'm 100% sure they won't go to the ones they didn't apply to! Talk of closing doors.

Unbelievable. [/quote]

Oh, chill.  I am thrilled they don't plan to go to the same college and stay exclusive.

They will get into the colleges they choose - trust me on that. [/b]

You really need to calm down, PP - this is my kid and this is his life. Nothing to do with you.  If you have nothing to add but pathetic "you're stupid" insults move on.  [/quote]

Unless you have serious money to donate to these schools or the kids are applying to totally non-competitive schools, it is the height of arrogance to say this. You know as well as me that very competitive schools are essentially lotteries. They could fill multiple incoming classes with qualified applicants; once they weed out the kids who don't have the grades/SAT scores, they're still left with at least three or four times the number of kids who can actually go. Whether your kid ultimately gets in is essentially pure chance, unless you are Bill Gates, your kid cured cancer, or your kid is an elite recruited athlete.[/quote]
