[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am genuinely happy when I hear of kids who get into great schools. I know they had to work super hard. My kids were not lazy by any means, but they didn’t make the huge sacrifices. They just followed their natural interests and curiosities both academically and in terms of ECs.

I will admit I’m jealous that other kids have more options financially. My kids were limited to applying in-state and to schools with generous merit aid. While they are very happy with where they landed, there are a few schools I think would have provided a really nice experience (not due to the status but environment) if we could have afforded them.  But I don’t waste much time on that because they are very lucky to be able to graduate in 4 years with no debt and not everybody can. [/quote]

+1.  My sentiments exactly. My kid is happy at his in state college and has no complaints.  But it’s me that thinks he would be really enjoying the atmosphere at certain other colleges if the funds allowed.  I don’t say anything; he had even said himself that it was not a good idea to spend more than our state colleges.   [/quote]
