[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right: DCUM is proof that people will say a lot of things anonymously that they'd never attach their names to. Parents act in self interested and disrespectful ways but are also often wonderful and supportive. There are a lot of amazing kids in this area and thankfully many will be admitted to wonderful schools. Wrong: [b]There is a belief here that certain people somehow genuinely deserve admission more than others. People self report stats and get upset or humblebrag.[/b] URMs and athletes are "the reason" my kid wasn't admitted to X school. Top 25 universities and LACs are the only ones that matter or are worth discussing. [/quote] +100 It amazes me how many parents actually think their kid was entitled to admission at X school, because they were "high stats." They refuse to acknowledge all the *other* high stats kids who were admitted. No one is entitled to a spot, period.[/quote]
