[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like seeing where my friends kids are going. [b]I do have one friend who posts Acceptance #1, then Acceptance #2 and on and on until the actual decision.[/b] My dd applied ED to a school that is not super competitive. I posted when she was accepted and she was fine with it. She had been in a lot of therapy (speech, OT) when she was younger so my old friends and family knew it was an extra special moment. But even for my friends’ kids who have always been superstars, I’m happy for them. It’s a big milestone. [/quote]

This is horrifying.

All I can think of is all the ways this could go wrong. Say you do this with your eldest and then your younger child only gets one acceptance or gets waitlisted everywhere or something. Say your child's best friend gets rejected from their dream school the day you post "Acceptance #5". Say your kid has a nervous breakdown in April because of the pressure and winds up not going to school in the fall.

I think the more your child's college decision resembles Lebron James' announcement that he was leaving Cleveland the first time, the more you should stop and ask what the point of it all is. I'm usually not someone who harps on discretion, but this is some of the tackiest stuff I've ever heard.[/quote]
