[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the school? If they give a huge discount to pretty much everyone then this is nothing really special.[/quote] It's special to the parents who are proud of their kid and likely relieved that they won't be on the hook for full tuition. Lots of teenagers are aimless and undedicated. The kid in question sounds like a hard working kid who is not naturally brilliant, a good test taker, or a naturally gifted athlete. And yet she has diligently kept working at school and her sport, doing the best she can, even retaking test to improve her shot at a good college result. She's gotten in a a school she and her family sound excited about, and bonus, she is getting scholarship money to attend. She and her parents have every reason to proud and if you can't see that, that's on you. This kid isn't being written up in a national newspaper as some kind of superstar. Her parents are bragging on her a bit because they are happy and proud.[/quote]
