So it seems snobby; so what? Why give so much power about what other people think?
When it comes to college admissions, wherever my kids wind up, I don’t care if their classmates think it’s “snobby” not to go to state flagship, or if they wind being “surprised” that they get in wherever they get in. I am not sure why the opinions of a bunch of people they will likely never see again should be of relevance. Of course they should be nice, friendly and polite to all, but to the original post, they owe no explanation to anyone of their grades, scores, ECs, or college planning process aside from us (parents) and GC as appropriate.
