<p>I did send a carefully worded email to the counselor- who wasnt offended but did try and point out that he did mention several times his own school, which was very small and rural & not an Ivy.
which was true.
He did thank me for my * interesting* perspective.
So- why is it, on CC, when someone comments on my perspective it feels like a compliment, but when he did it, it felt vaguely like an insult?</p>
