“Just because these 8-Ivy kids impress you doesn’t mean they have to impress everyone else. Some of us measure achievement by different standards.”
Some of us have the grace to say to a kid “oh, you got accepted to (insert Ivy/elite school); congratulations!” and don’t demand that such kid “prove themselves” or need to demonstrate other credentials before we will be “impressed.” Your attitude is terribly ungracious. Life needn’t be a competition like that. It’s rather sad, really, that you have to “be impressed” rather than just be happy for other people.
