[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]a slacker kid who is so clearly best suited to a truly mediocre state school.[/b] What gives?! I truly never get this crowd. [/quote]

WTF is wrong with you?

From the OPs post:

"Just a normal hard-working bright teenage boy who likes playing sports and "chilling" with his many friends, and likes the challenge of being surrounded by the smart kids at his school."

The OP is discussing a normal well adjusted kid, nothing like your insinuation. What gives is right, nobody will ever understand ignorant mental midgets such as the one that you see in the mirror.

The kid will do great at a SUNY if that is what they choose. SUNY's aren't mediocre, they are excellent and underappreciated schools which give zero ground to many far better known Publics. But this is a kids who has done very well and will have options, great options. Comments like yours highlight your limitations, not anybody else's. [/quote]

PP here. I’m sorry, but intelligent, hard working and 3.7 GPA are not compatible. If he really is that smart, he’s just not putting in the effort of that’s really his GPA. His guidance counselor would (should) tell him the exact same if she’s honest with him. [/quote]

What a dumb comment. You're questioning some kid's work ethic and intelligence based on their GPA. Really? At many elite NYC privates a 3.7 will get you into most Ivies. You have such a shallow, ignorant view of the world. This board is poisoned by low class strivers who think they know so much and are clueless. Shut up and listen and maybe you will develop some class.[/quote]

Sorry, but no. NY privates are not any different from DC primates, in fact they’re probably inferior. Same rules apply and I stand by my comment! Sorry if the tough talk hurts, but I thought this was the place for honest, anonymous discussion, even if it hurts a little. This board is full of that. At least OP realizes SUNY Binghamton is probably the best place for her kid to mature and hopefully get on the right path for a professional career. [/quote]

Saying someone's kid is not intelligent and does not work hard based on a 3.7 gpa is the dumbest thing in the history of the many dumb things posted on DCUM. I stand by that. But you be you.

And no, NYC TT privates are better than DC privates. Totally different world. Further proving your ignorance.

You're also likely someone who wouldn't send your kid to a SLAC. Because you know everything about everything. I'm sure you're popular at the country club cocktail parties (kidding/not kidding).[/quote]
