<p>S2 received a Princeton letter last week and a Yale letter yesterday.</p>
<p>Princeton’s letter begins:
“Your academic achievements suggest that you are looking at the nation’s most outstanding universities.”</p>
<p>Maybe it’s just because we’re wired a little differently at my house, but we found this pretentious. S2 was particularly offended at the implication that the only value to his academic achievements are the ability to potentially gain entry to an Ivy League school.</p>
