[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM parents are so funny. They legit feel entitled to send their kid to the best school they can get into at a price they find affordable.

I grew up in a part of the country where kids understood there were schools they might get into but wouldn’t be able to pay for, so they didn’t even apply and just went to state flagships. I don’t know why this comes as such a shock to people in this area but it sure does. [/quote]

DP. I live in an a relatively wealthy part of a rural area now, and I was struck by how many highly qualified kids from DC’s school go to the state flagships, or even lesser known state colleges,  even after being accepted to more “elite” private schools. It’s money.  Many kids can’t afford to travel back and forth to a distant school, even if they could get in and get aid. This idea that everyone is entitled to go to every college they can get admitted to for a price they find acceptable is a big city phenomenon. [/quote]
