[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reasonably expecting or hoping with some foundation that your hard work, grades, EC's etc. will provide a chance at a "good" college (however you define that) is not the same thing as thinking you are "owed a spot." I've seen that reference on here multiple times. Stop. It's not the same thing. We tell these kids to work hard. They do. Then they get left in the cold. It's a bitter pill to swallow and, imo, it's bs. FTR, I have not skin in the game as my kid is not in HS.[/quote] No, the "I'm owed a spot" thinking comes from this thread, where the OP posits that because this kid didn't get into 10 of the most selective colleges in the country, meritocracy is dead. That is idiocy. Entitled idiocy, actually. [/quote]
