[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably would go with a SUNY school. The privates mentioned here are not worth the money they cost. Hopefully he figures things out in college and can get into a good professional school. He will need to work harder in the future though![/quote]

That your opinion, and one that isn't supported by data. [/quote]

What? I don’t get it. People here are so hard on great schools like Emory, Vanderbilt, and Wash U, but then have nothing but sympathy for a slacker kid who is so clearly best suited to a truly mediocre state school. What gives?! I truly never get this crowd. [/quote]

PP, have you ever considered that different types of posters respond to different threads?  You may be seeing different groups of parents depending on the schools mentioned.

The three schools you mention are in cities and regions that are not cool with East Coast Establishment types.  It's hardly surprising.

OP's kid does not sound like a slacker.  They are going to one of the best public high schools in the United States.  Context matters.[/quote]

Fair point. The OP of this thread is not in the same league with the other threads I mentioned, and she’s not trying to be. So if I conflated things![/quote]

*Sorry if I conflated things. [/quote]
