[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tone on this board is so Hunger Games. Like desperately seeking tips to get into a T20 or transfer in or pay consultants to eek in or choose EC's for a 12 year old so they can be interviewed on campus 9 years later by Goldman Sachs.

It is SO SO unhealthy.[b] Really, just raise your kids to try their best, academically and later professionally. And when they do, be acknowledge their efforts. Support the person they are becoming [/b](vs. twist them into your vision of success).

Whatever admissions they obtain, demonstrate pride. Tell them you believe in them and know they will make good use of the opportunities before them.

Strive for a kid who is healthy, happy and fulfilled. That should be what unselfish parents, with sound values, seek.[/quote]
