Parents of the HS Class of 2023 (Part 1)

I think we really need to start pushing a re-definition of what is an “undesirable” school. To me an undesirable school is one that isn’t accredited, and/or does not offer the programs you want to study and/or requires going into massive amounts of debt.

I think it’s fine to apply to reaches, in fact I encourage it, but people ought to not feel ashamed that they “only” got into the local state university even though they are top 10% in their class. If that state university is accredited, has the programs they want to study and is affordable, chances are they have really good students going there and some pretty cool professors and research opportunities as well.
