[quote=Anonymous]How true! Even worse than the summer trips to exotic locals would be the rich parents who instead of making their kid work or take some community college course while awaiting the second semester acceptance to the elite school sends them to "study" abroad instead. No wonder these kids "chat effortlessly" about their lives to college interviewers, everything has been so easy, so the words come easily too. My upper middle class daughter was completely intimidated by the encounter with this kid as all she could say was she was waiting it out at MC.

I grew up in this area and had a great high school education, multiple APs in the late 70s, etc, etc. Its all about the kid and how hard they are willing to work as time goes on. I know a top surgeon whose high school didn't even offer the courses I took. He made up for it later at a so, so college, being the top of his class. He knew how to work. I really don't know what will happen to these pampered kids in the work world.[/quote]
