[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I will be seriously disappointed if DS (now 12) is not accepted to a top 25 school.  Or a top 10 school for his major, which is looking like it could be engineering.  The very best engineering schools don't overlap neatly with absolute top 25.

I will love him just the same if he winds up at U. Wisconsin though.  And he will have a nice life if that happens.  But it's not wrong to strive for better.

U of Wisconsin isn't that easy to get into either you know.[/quote]

It is for a certain profile.    It's where the disappointed Sidwell parents send their mid-pack, affluent white kids with no hook, for example.[/quote]

If you go to Sidwell and and up there--or Michigan, for that matter--ask yourself, why did I spend money for this crap?[/quote]

You provincial idiots can go bust on the University of Wisconsn all you like.  The large number of billionaire Fortune 500 CEOs who went there can laugh about you and your cute little 500-800K HHI.        [/quote]

The "large number" ?  Is the number "larger" than the number of elite CEOs who went to, I dunno, Yale?  UCLA?  No.  No it is not.  [/quote]
