[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sharing incomplete and unverified information, in a way that just adds to the over-emphasis on a few schools and makes those NOT admitted early feel worse, is not a great idea.  Good for the other schools' parents for not getting into it.[/quote]

I disagree. What is wrong with being proud - or sad, mad, whatever - at where your child got in. Or saying you feel the school misled you about its track record. There is plenty of bragging on this site for no reason (my kid tested like Einstein at age 3, my kid is gifted, etc) designed to make other parents feel bad that there kid didn't get into a Bog 3, etc. You have posted this same line on a few threads now, so obviously the problem is not with the parents who want to discuss things anonymously while still naming the school, big deal. If your kid didn't get in somewhere early (and everyone knows the Ivies are a crap shoot on the best day) then reading that other kids in maybe a different school got in isn't going to make you feel any worse. No one started a thread on only a few schools. Sounds like one high school had a few big groups get in early to a few schools, which would naturally make those schools a focus of discussion.

In other words, obviously this must touch a nerve with you personally.[/quote]
