[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a defense mechanism.  If I reject these schools first, they can’t reject me. I have seen parents say all kinds of cra@p when their kid had zero chance or the stats for a T10 or even T20. [/quote]

Is it really that difficult to believe that a good student may actually want to go to a college besides the Ivies?![/quote]

This.  My son has friends from a year above play LAX at Yale, Brown, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Pen State and others.  He loves participating in sports but knows he won't get recruited.

His buddy at Penn State is having the best time over all his other friends attending these other schools.  They are all superb universities, just not a place my high stat kid wants to attend.

I back his decision, whatever it is.  Could he get into top 10-20?  Maybe.

But he wants a large public flagship with school spirit.  Whatever, its his choice and his life! [/quote]

Yes, becuase teenagers know the world and have judgement. Riiiiight. Is he paying for it?[/quote]

Not the PP. Stupid and rude response. [/quote]
