[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS just told me he got his results.  Into Blair, RM and Poolesville.  Didn't expect this.  He likely will decline all 3.[/quote]
Why did he apply then. [/quote]

To stroke his parents’ ego.[/quote]

You sound upset.

There are many reasons why kids apply and then decline.  I would encourage kids to go to the information nights, and they can make up their minds at that time after hearing the presentations and seeing the cohorts.  No push from parents because magnet is a huge commitment that students endure (not the parents!).[/quote]

DP.  I agree with PP. Parent had 2 kids apply and get in to all programs.  First turned tgem all down and now parent says second will likely turn down before ever visiting? That sounds like ego stroking to me. And, I am not upset -- had 2 kids go through this, get into great magnets (one got into all and chose carefully with a lot of visits/shadows etc), and now last is in early to top college. So, while it's fine to choose what's best, even if that is none, the immediate dismissal of the poster smacks of ego.[/quote]

You realize that kids in the covid years never had a chance to visit the school right?  They had to make decisions based on a zoom call.

And also, no one said without visiting.  Read through the thread.  [/quote]
