[quote=Anonymous]At DC's private school, the norm is not to discuss test scores and acceptances with classmates. Obvious they do talk to their bffs and some students scores are well known because of national merit and presidential fellowships. But, the sharing usually comes after decisions on where to go are made. It's partly to prevent college admission from becoming a source of competition among students. They're immensely competitive enough and it could create a culture where undermining your fellow Harvard applicants became normal. It's also a way to avoid harming their classmates' feelings. If someone brags about getting into their safety school, it could be hurtful to a student who had the school on his reach list. [/quote]
