[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another post on this? How is this different from yesterday's post? [/quote]

The person whose kid scored high needs reassurance that their kid is bright and worthy even though TO kids are getting accepted into schools. It’s kind of a daily thing we do here now.[/quote]

And TO parents need reassurance that their less qualified kid will get into Yale. [/quote]

Kids are getting into Yale and other selective colleges by applying TO.

Parents of test takers who submit scores and get rejected are pissed, jealous or both.

This is the net of it.

TO isn't going away, so I guess there will be more angst and scapegoating out there.[/quote]

THIS!! And also they are learning that selective colleges now value more than the kids who study and live their 4 years to get picked rather than the ones who live a balanced life, select a passion and go in on it for 4 years, are kind, helpful, resourceful, get good grades, and bring more to the classroom experience and dialogue. That not all selective schools want a classroom full of test takers as if a bnch of the richest now didn;t drop out of college to pursue life in tech or finance. Also, that there is value to lived experiences that correlates well with future problem solvers, and community builders.[/quote]
