[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is similar. I just keep repeating the reality[b] that it’s a lottery[/b]. I think it’s sinking in. He also watched the “sure ivy-bound” kids get rejected last year. He was sure this superstar was going to Harvard at that one to Yale. And then they ended up at Wesleyan and Penn State. That is what was most enlightening for him. [/quote] I've been telling my very high stat DC the same thing. [b]DC feels pressure because everyone assumes DC will be going to an elite univ.[/b] I told DC it doesn't matter what they think. Next year, you won't see 99.9% of those kids, so who cares what they think.[/quote] THIS. Parents literally shouting across the bleachers, "so has 'Johnny' applied to MIT yet? Oh he'll get in." Stupid and Obnoxious. [/quote]
