[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from a midwest public high school in the 90's - when I told my guidance counselor I wanted to apply to AU his response was "why would you want to go to school on the east coast? that is a waste of time and effort and you can't afford it apply to this d3 state school instead". To this day this comment just kills me. (I did get into AU)[/quote] As a high school senior in the midwest, won a regional award for scholarly (and ec) achievement and at the ceremony the guy handing out the awards read aloud the schools I was interested in - 2 top 20 schools in Midwest and one Ivy, and he snorted and said “good luck getting into those!” I ended up at the Ivy. My guidance counselor had tried hard to get me to apply to a local community college as a backup, as he thought I was aiming too high.[/quote]
