Too obvious of a troll...except perhaps for that one Big 3 wannabe school?

Impressive for EA and ED, I guess the funds saved instead of spent on private school will be put to good use

Now that the initial ED rush has settled, the last few admits look decidedly unimpressive: CU Boulder, Denison, Syracuse, Brandeis. The public that admits almost everyone who can smoke weed, and private universities where the wealthy park their offspring for a degree.

Many, not all, but many of these kinds of posts are written by folks who've been out of the admissions world for awhile or do not yet have kids in HS and really do not grasp how much more difficult it is for Larlo and Larla to get into their HYPSM when their family hasn't built a wing or raised a building from scratch.

And it is just kind of sad, PP, that you came on here to write this. Do your kids hear you say this? If so, GL to them.

At least these kids are getting away from this kind of DMV superiority complex. Open your myopic viewpoint, add a little kindness, and don't give in to the tantalizing cowardice of the anonymous internet.

Whereas students from the supposedly best and upper-income Montgomery County Public Schools are having trouble getting admitted to Denison or Syracuse at all.

You seem really nice, too. You and 17:45 have a lot in common. Bet you went to the same college.

Those who dish out snark deserve it back.

You all realize that these obnoxious posts are being written by kids, right? Of competing private schools?

[Anonymous]

They are such great kids, aren’t they?

Exactly what the PP thinks! See? You do think alike! That must make you so happy.
