[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are some people obsessed with the best? Dumb question.[/quote] It is not dumb. It is ok to strive for the most prestigious but to be obsessed with them to the point of actively saying that anything else is a disappointment, doesn't seem normal. Would you feel like your kid was a disappointment if they didn't make it to Stanford but instead got into Penn?! [/quote] [i]Obsessed[/i] because nobody accidentally gets into HYPS. It takes years of conditioning and prep and resume building. A[b]s for [i]life is over[/i] if they don't get in, it's not really like that. [/b]Worst case for a polished tiger cub is UVA, Michigan or a full ride at Alabama. All fine schools where a kid can become really successful and meet plenty of other tiger cubs.[/quote] Many of the most successful people in American life never set foot on an Ivy campus (at least as a student).
