[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh. DH and I both went to highly ranked universities from middling public high schools and I have accepted that my kids won’t get into either school. It’s just so much harder to get in to these schools today and that doesn’t reflect on my kids or our parenting.[/quote] +1. My kid was waitlisted at the SLAC I attended 30 years ago, even though they had a stronger profile than what I had 30 years ago. And my then-safeties-and-targets are now close to being lottery schools. As another parent on another thread said about these being different times, different kids, different metrics. It’s a hard thing for many parents to accept but a lot of our kids are not getting into the same schools that accepted us 30-40 years ago. [/quote]
