[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP. I don't know why so many people are afraid of excellence. If they want to send their kids to "nowhere U" that is their choice. But, I didn't want that for my kid. I grew up poor...that might have something to do with it. I know what a great education can do to move one up in economic class terms. For the doubters out there read "hillbilly elegy"[/quote] The undercurrent of these forums can be a little anti-ambitious. Which is odd because DC is the most aggressive/ambitious place in the nation.[/quote] It's not anti-ambitious. It's realizing your child's strengths -- and limitations, which everyone has. And everyone needs to be realistic about the odds of being accepted into institutions with such low acceptance rates. Aim high, but be prepared for the alternative. That alternative can still provide your child with a great education and experience.[/quote]
