[quote=Anonymous]Our kids' school counselors have always urged students not to discuss college applications with one another. With our oldest -- who was a senior 10 years ago -- I thought that would only contribute to the stress and anxiety. I was wrong -- and discovered that the day decisions came out when several parents asked me at a sports event how my kid could possibly have gotten into X University when other students whom they considered more highly qualified were deferred or rejected. Since then, our policy with our two younger kids (youngest is a current senior) has been to help them learn how to respond to questions in an indirect and unrevealing way and how to change the topic gracefully, useful skills in many areas of life.
