[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a thread similar to this a few months ago about a kid who said "the only reason you got in is you are a legacy." [/quote] +1 and this post is so similar (including friends who have drifted apart) that it makes me wonder whether the post is real or not. It’s also written quite strangely, part of it sounds like he’s already committed and part sounds like it’s just an option he’s considering. Lot of trolls around here right now—the “my kid chose another school over Emory and I can’t deal with it” threads all got deleted yesterday, for example. Assuming that it is real, I don’t think all of the “kid is a jerk, shut him down, blah blah” advice is actually good. Texas gave itself its own reputation, and eagerly so, and that’s not a reputation many people view favorably. It won’t be the last time your kid hears a comment like this so it’s better you ensure your kid understands the context and that it isn’t personal to him. [/quote]
