<p>g13, please disregard your ridiculous friend. You will find lots of new ones at your new school. For a lot of them it will be their first choice school and a dream come true to be there. Focus on the positives. Buy a t-shirt and wear it with pride. </p>
<p>BTW, of the top ten grads in my S’s class all but one went to State U’s BY CHOICE because they are good schools that they liked. Clarification…the Val. went to a well regarded private and was very unhappy there and transferred to state u. after one semester. She loves the state u. and is planning for med sch. The one who didn’t end up at a state u. was a recruited athlete at an Ivy. She is doing fine too. Everbody finds there place and there is more than on right place.</p>
