[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP Here. I am not entitled to anything. I simply don't think 3 Harvard admits out of 140 kids means the whole class is doing stellar. There are plenty of disappointments. And sorry, but for GDS, this result is not really that different than most other years.

It's so interesting to be in this position as a parent bc there are so many GDS haters on DCUM, and I usually feel the need to try to be positive, but this boosterism is weird to me.  GDS is an elite private. It's not uncommon to have 20% of the class go to top 25 schools. So all I am saying is the jury is still out.[/quote]

I'm a GDS parent. Happy I don't know you.   Obnoxious and ungrateful. [/quote]

Hmm PP here. What am I ungrateful for exactly? My child is not one of the three into Harvard so I'm not grateful for that. Many of my kid's friends have been deferred or rejected so, no, I am not grateful for that.  As I stated, the kids who got in deserve kudos and are great- how is that obnoxious?.  The rejections and deferrals for many families do not translate to the title of this thread which is "GDS-WOW!" SO if you are a booster who cannot take a reality check that not all GDS parents and kids in the senior class are over the moon with happiness with stellar early admits, since less the 20% of the class has results, then I am glad I don't know you too.
