[quote=Anonymous]Hate to generalize but I believe there are two divergent mindsets. For older parents it is the thought the kid will follow in their footsteps but the elite school they attended had a 40% admit rate when they got in and it is now a single digit admit rate. For younger parents it is participation trophy syndrome. Kid always did well, has impeccable stats and ECs they must get in. But fail to realize that in today’s grade inflated world with rebaselined standardized tests everyone is the same kid. So there are just so many “equally” qualified kids competing for a limited number of slots. As a result a great deal of angst and frustration when kids have to settle for their highly ranked state flagship or even worse a top 75 school. [/quote]
