I can see how that would be the case in some school settings, but no danger of that in our context. No one at her suburban TX public school has ever heard of any of the LACs that she’s applying to, and if they had, they would wonder why on earth anyone would ever want to go to that kind of place. State flagships are the goal around here, even for the tippy top students, and they generally don’t have ED - most kids here already know where they are going, and in some cases have known for months. So the only ones who would even notice are her close friends, who will be very excited for her.
