[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is in college and I shared a lot with people (where we'd visited, which colleges we were considering, the importance of ECs, test prep, etc), because we're foreign and I genuinely needed input from all and sundry! I received a ton of well-meaning and friendly advice, and I thanked everyone who made comments. I found that people were eager and willing to help us. It was really nice. For my younger kids, I probably won't need to ask people, so we won't share as much. And while I understand that technically, classmates are competition... not when they're looking at colleges and filling out applications. By then, the GPA is not very moveable, they're on an EC path they've been on for years... So, I really don't think it hurts chances if kids talk to one another. [/quote]
