<p>I think people get wrapped up in the competitive nature of this. They know someone who’s kid got into a great college and they think “my kid is smarter and more special than that kid, they should go to a better or just as good college”. They get caught up in it. Everyone thinks their kid is smarter and more special than the neighbor’s kid.</p>
<p>My MIL talked about how the neighbor kid got into Harvard (my H’s age). My grandson is so smart and special, he should have no problem.</p>
