[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - not everyone is cut out intellectually and personality-wise for the top ticket. Your DD sounds like someone who simply is not cut out for the elite schools. She'll be happier and will do fine, as others have said, at "Average State U". Not everyone is meant for top tier.[/quote]

How on earth do you come to this conclusion based on the OP?

This whole thread, much like the Brown/Michigan thread, shows a really ugly side of elite college grads. I went to an elite college and grad school and knew my share of neurotic bitches, but it seems like things have really deteriorated since my day. It's sad that people feel this way, and worse that they are willing to say cruel things about 17-22 year old students. How would you feel if you were the OPs daughter coming across this thread. Or a Michigan student, or a Brown student.[/quote]

Michigan or Brown or UMD students are smart enough to look around at their friends that graduated from "elite" schools and say, thank god I didn't do that. The people that don't understand that nobody wants to be around "elite" grad are elite grads, low EQ/binders/etc. They think it is of their choosing.

Just went to a wedding, groom (B-level state U) bride (elite U)... OMG, it 's like we had to keep the elite grads away from the rest of the wedding. I was embarrassed for the bride, but I have live in CC so it is nothing new to me. Drinking scotch by the bottle and being misogynistic, not impressive.  [/quote]
