[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid didn't get in where s/he wants to go, huh, OP?  Stuck at a safety school that s/he doesn't see as a good fit?

Bummer.  [/quote]

I'm not OP but that is a really crappy thing to say. I agree with her. I grew up with 8 kids in my family and took 2 buses to be a commuter at my local university...no loans, no parents paying...just working 2 crappy jobs to be able to go there. You can bet I wanted something different for my kid...so we only had one kid and they went to an Ivy. But, OP is right...most people can't afford to have a choice to find the "right fit". They just have to find "right price". I can assure the person who wrote this crappy post to OP...you have no idea how the majority of people have to live in this country...most people don't have the luxury of "choice" or "fit". They just "do".[/quote]

It was intended to be a crappy post, because OP is being an ass.  But, you misunderstand the OP's post.  Her main point is not that many people don't have options - that was a supporting point.  Her main point was that kids who *do* have options and try to find a school that is a good "fit" are coddled whiners who needs to suck it up and quit worrying about trivial things like happiness.  Because some (many) people don't have options, those that do are ridiculous babies when the exercise them.

But, although I did mean to make the OP feel badly, I didn't intend for that to spread to others.  If it did, I apologize.  OP is still an ass, though.  [/quote]
