Is it fair that my parents want me to apply only to top 20 colleges?

<p>^^So very true, they start comparing stats from Kindergarten, some want the best of every thing, the school, the school district, the town, the college, the company who the kids work for, the money, the wife/husband… and it goes right down the line.</p>

<p>An Asian friend of mine was so obsessed with MD, they took their son all over the USA trying to get into one of those BS/MD program to no avail, costing 100’s 1000’s on traveling expenses alone, nevermind the time involved. Then, after the son graduated from college, they took him around the USA again to get into a Med school. They forced the son to apply for every possible school in the USA BS/MD or Med School. Finally, the son got into a Med School, but it is no where near the top, so the bragging stopped.</p>

<p>No wonder the price of houses in Cupertino had increased in value in this recession.</p>
