I've read this generalization on the CC forums before that Ivy grads rarely obsess about their own kid's having to get into an Ivy. It seems anecdotally true amongst my friends and me. Any weight to this?

<p>I agree completely. My mother went to Harvard and my father attended Princeton yet I have never once felt pressured to attend either one of those schools. Whenever people ask my parents if they want me to attend one of those schools, they just shrug and say that the decision is ultimately up to me. When my decisions came in, they let me choose. They added their opinion, but they told me to choose the school I thought I would be most happy at. My mother even told me if that school just so happens to be Barnard or Carnegie Mellon or a state school, then so be it. It's four years out of your life, she reminded me.</p>
