[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what happened to this thread? a bunch of posts were removed. probably obnoxious posts but still.  [/quote]
OP here.  Thanks again to everyone who chimed in with advice - this is very helpful.

I'm grateful the obnoxious posts (and yeah, some of them were mine) got deleted - they were distracting from the point of the thread.  By way of explanation, I was not slamming high-achieving students.  Hey, good on them!  Seriously.

I [i]was[/i] slamming the crazy helicopter parents I see on DCUM who act as if their kids are [b]Doomed To A Life Of Failure And Poverty And Despair[/b] if they don't constantly ride them to get straight A's in all AP classes while playing sports at an elite level and performing 80 hours a week of community service and winning all the prizes in every category and, and, and...  Frankly, I feel sorry for their kids, even if they are doing well.[/quote]

These are the same people who argue about whether Duke, Vanderbilt or Penn is "better" and about whether Yale is more prestigious than Columbia. Idiots, all.[/quote]

Why are they idiots? Their kids have to make a choice. Getting more information is helpful for making choices. [/quote]
