[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you not get enough attention bragging to your friends about your kid's ivy acceptance so need to seek out some strangers?  Everyone already knows this is a good school. [/quote]

NP-- such a mean response. Let the poster enjoy a little afterglow instead of getting your claws out and snarking.[/quote]

I am just so tired of parents trying to flex on this.   I think we would all agree that for every kid admitted, there are many more that were on paper qualified and would do well at these schools. [/quote]

As an HYP grad, one problem of attending a super selective school is that you have to be more cautious of evincing school pride (because you look like a total a-hole) whereas families that are connected with slightly less prestigious schools (say Michigan) can run around proudly. This may be the only outlet where the mom above can flex without risking social repercussions. [/quote]

This is true, but it's not right! I've often hesitated to wear my favorite Duke hat, but now that I've lost my hair to chemo, I definitely could care less. Everyone has the right to be proud of their alma mater. [/quote]

Best of luck to you! Duke people in DC seem more than happy to advertise where they went to school. I was down in the Union Market area today and saw a lot of Duke stuff. Again, it could be linked to the fact that their nationally televised football game against Clemson is tonight.[/quote]

Thank you xo[/quote]
