[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with Op completely - my kid is planning to attend a good school, but was accepted into significantly better schools.  He has been subject to so much pressure from peers and their parents that he is settling and making a big mistake.  It has caused my DC great emotional distress and made him question his own decisions.  I can't stand the DMV and the snobbish behavior of people - DCUM of course takes it to a completely new level![/quote]

This is happening to my kid too. Luckily, we were able to have him talk to someone in the field he is entering, and the expert on the subject gave him confidence that he was on the right course (even telling him to reach out when it was time for apply for a job), and the haters are just ignorant about his chosen path.[/quote]

Same experience here.  Kids judging because DC isn’t picking the highest ranked school (in their minds).  Program is a great fit for DC and very well regarded. Peer group just judges based on school ranking.  DC has let it roll off.  The judging is a reality and a big down side of raising kids in this area. [/quote]
