[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having had a girl and a boy go through the college admissions process at a private school, I will tell you the girls know a lot more about everyone’s scores, stats, and special hooks. Boys are just not as in the weeds on this stuff and frankly don’t care as much.

So if you are a girl mom and have good Intel, that counts for a lot[/quote]

++yes indeed they made rank lists and kept track of each others' GPAs plus they edit each other's common app essays in AP LIT in 11th grade after the AP, and go over how to enter GPA, scores, courses into common app. They know everything about each other including ECs. My son knows nothing and his friends do not talk but the girls are starting to pepper him with questions after teachers called him out as high scorer on a few things. I am the one who showed him naviance, where his sister was and how he is definitely near the very top for gpa. He is nonchalant and clueless, probably better that way. [/quote]

My senior DD and her friends had REA/ED Google sheets /lists for everyone in their privates class - girls updated as info came out with a column for hooks.

It was sooo detailed. With a few hours they know results of who got in where. Feel like it’s so organized! I bet the CCO doesn’t have spreadsheets that up to date.[/quote]

That’s not healthy.[/quote]

How awful. I’m glad I don’t live in the DMV. My kid is only at the Emory/Wash U/Tufts level and I’m very proud of what they achieved to get there and I hope they feel good about their imperfect self as well. I’m glad they’re somewhere where they’re not looked at as “less than” for not being at your HYP level. [/quote]
Tufts is below Emory and WashU. Trying to sneak Tufts in is kind of comical. Nice try.[/quote]

Don't be obtuse.[/quote]
