[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC's top choice college was a "lessor" school in a particular group - think Cornell vs. Harvard or Connecticut College vs. Amherst, or Nebraska vs. Northwestern, something like that. They were accepted and are THRILLED beyond words, but more than one family member and friend has said some really nasty things to us about the acceptance. We're incredibly proud and trying to gracefully deflect the comments, but people are digging in their heels and saying the equivalent of, "Well, what about Harvard? It's not too late to apply, you know." Could use some specific wording here. "This school is perfect for them, and we're very proud of their achievement" isn't shutting them down.[/quote] We're very happy for them, it's too bad you can't be supportive too. [/quote]
