[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At our Big 3, students are high achieving and driven but not as toxic in the way you describe. Overt competition is looked down upon. More of a you do you vibe. On the other hand, went to a quiz bowl competition at a top suburban school and couldn't believe when I saw it on full display. A huge turnoff to my kid who was also experiencing this for the first time. [/quote] What was going on during the quiz bowl competition? And if you are describing GDS, I agree. DC is there and it is high achieving, driven and supportive but not toxic. I will give this example. Two seniors applied to an Ivy plus school. One was deferred to RD, one was rejected. The rejected applicant was cheering when the deferred student was admitted in RD. [/quote]
