[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone offended by OPs attitude, you may not get it. A lot of people think that applying to any college is the same; it isn’t. A successful application to George Mason can be ripped out in moments, but not one for a highly selective school. Successfully applying to a highly selective school takes advanced planning and careful application work. Most average families have no clue about this. That’s why they keep going to the same schools and repeating the same patterns of their parents. Half the job of doing better in life is to expand your worldview to know what is possible and how to achieve it. [/quote]

Eh. Our family does quite well going to state schools. We aren’t driven by name brands or someone else’s definition of success. Perhaps if a family is trying to break into some perceived higher social circle, this may matter. For many of us, our worldview doesn’t include impressing others and making more money than we need.

The OP’s post is insufferable to me.[/quote]
