[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you will soon get used to your lower status in your friend group but you have to be honest with yourself - if your kid got into an inferior college because he was a low-achiever in high school, this was the result of bad parenting and quite properly reflects poorly on you.[/quote] Very harsh and unfair to OP. A lot of things can happen to kids in high school that are beyond the parents’ control. The parents can provide all the nurturing, encouragement and resources in the world, but it’s ultimately on the kid. We need to stop treating a college admit as some kind of prize for good parenting.
