[quote=Anonymous]I would not talk about it being unfair. I would simply say that in life schools and employers and award committees get to make decisions, and we don't always know why they chose one person over another. Implying that your good friend shouldn't have gotten in, isn't being a good friend. Your kid also has a lot of advantages that will give him advantages over other kids. Being a full pay applicant, applying from a private school, and not having disabilities that impact his SSAT score are huge advantages. When you are born on third base, whining that someone was born 1/2 way to home is really obnoxious, and I wouldn't reinforce that. [/quote]
