[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading this thread and wondering... which is it?

The posters are seniors in high school, or

Y'all are way too involved.  I have a senior. He was accepted places you folks might distain.  I do not know about any other kid's outcomes.  [/quote]

Not sure what your point is. If your child is not applying to super-competitive schools and is qualified for the schools on his list, of course the process will be much less dramatic. People are less likely to post in cases where the outcomes are assured. If you don't know about other kids' outcomes, presumably that's because you are incurious and/or don't have friends who like to talk about this subject. Not sure why any of that would make you want to judge others. [/quote]

So your saying that if my son were applying to Harvard I would somehow develop an insane interest in all the other kids at his school who are applying to such places? Not likely.

The few parents who have pushed conversations about where my kid was applying were fishing. It was awkward and distasteful. Do you stay this involved Freshman year, too?

Where did you get the notion that people on this thread are insanely interested in where all the kids at their kid's school are going?  This is an anonymous thread, and the posters on here are discussing their own child'ren's results at schools they were hoping to get into. Not sure why you find that to be a sign of over-involvement. I also doubt that all the people asking about your kid's application list were "fishing" for information. They were probably just trying to be friendly and make small talk. [/quote]

Did we read the same thread?

And the fishers were fishing. [/quote]
