The world has changed. Yes it’s crazy and it’s not always about who’s best. It is often about who could pay. I’m looking at you Tufts, etc.
I truly believe the best kids…not the smartest, but the most persistent, hardworking, adaptable…will be successful no matter where they go.
The lesson is…one needs that safety. Even those at the top. Or if one wants to spend less they need to build their list around cost. That’s what we did. It works.
It is sad and infuriatin that people push you to apply and take your money to do so only to say no. But it’s subjective. Very much so.
We put out a dream. Many of the top kids who exceed any level of minimum still fail in their goal. But hopefully they don’t let that define their lives !!
