[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my personal story is actually not quite this, but I wonder how people feel and act. (My personal piece is that as a first time college applicant in my family, I wanted Georgetown, got in, my parents couldn’t afford it, and I went to American for a low price and am annoyed to have gone to a school with an inferiority complex, which I clearly also have.) I have this sense that if my high schooler regardless of plans doesn’t go to a school more prestigious than mine, I probably screwed up. Didn’t help enough or make things happen that could have developed the kid’s potential. And kid probably doesn’t want to think of themself as an underachiever. [/quote] It's normal to want better for your kids. I'd be more concerned if you did not. That being said, "prestigious" doesn't necessarily mean "better". [/quote]
