[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compared to what? Sidwell's last 5 years of college acceptances? Some other reputable local private? You're hilarious. [/quote] Believe it or not, it's actually possible to simply be happy for people and congratulate them without doing a benchmark comparison. It's also possible to let other people express positivity without trying to undermine it with sarcasm and bitterness. But you do you.[/quote] No, I can't do that because I'm a scientist and value accurate wording. So if you said: "I'm impressed some kids I know got into X, Y and Z schools", that would be anecdotal and we would say "Great!". But if you say, "Look at how well Sidwell did this year!", then the comparison with another year or another school is IMPLIED, and so... what are you comparing it to, OP? Just word it better next time.[/quote]
