[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am glad the OP and his child seem to have made peace with their situation (which may be disappointing, but is no tragedy). I think people who have not had to settle or budget before are shocked and mad they have to with college. Keep things in perspective. Many others choose between medicine and food or shoes and rent. This can be humbling, in a good way.[/quote] The issue is that the top schools are also the gateway to generational success in a way that lower tier schools are not and iwhen you see other monkeys with grapes, it feels just as bad to have cucumbers as it feels to have nothing [/quote] Kids from UMC families do not need the Ivy “boost” as they have their parents networks too. It is a nice to have for them. Poor students have no networks and benefit from the Ivy “boost” much more. Rich kids will have privilege where ever and when ever they go - nothing to really change that. [/quote]
