[quote=Anonymous]I have noticed the most stressed out families and the parents fighting most with their DCs are the ones making their kids do extra ECs, internships, non profits, hiring private consultants and essay coaches to try to get into HYPMS. Also see same types of families with similar caliber kids, who are having a much better experience when they are more chilled about the process and aiming for still incredible but more slightly more attainable schools like Wash U, Emory, Middlebury, U of Washington. Last year, I saw some of these more relaxed/more realistic families finish the process and headed out to Thailand or Hawaii for Christmas while the ones aiming for HYP were fighting so much they weren’t even seeing families for the holidays and the kids ended up at Oberlin instead of Yale anyway [/quote]
