[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is fine and there is a lot to see in Harvard Square.[b] DH is an alum and there is a lot of discussion about how to broach this with kids.[/b] Our DS has Harvard gear (and gear from my school) but we always stress to him that these schools are universally unlikely and the importance of finding a wide range of schools where he could have a good experience. He is older though and we have seen other alumni kids not admitted so we are very open about this. For a younger child, I think it is good for them to have high aspirations and you can always have these conversations as they age.[/quote] You're really overthinking this.[/quote] I don't think so. Schools have become much more selective, and our children have less of a chance than we did.[/quote]
