[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What do you doubt? That the parents were unhappy at spending all that time and money and their kids were not accepted? They certainly weren't happy about it.

It was the parents who spent all the time and money whose kids did not get in who were unhappy. The parents whose kids got in did get their hoped for result, so it is likely that they were happy about that.

[b]Do they wonder if their kids would have been accepted without spending all that time and money? Who knows? You never know what crosses the minds of other people.[/b] [/quote]

I doubt it. You pay for a coach and your kids make the Olympic trial cutoffs.  You pay for a piano/violin and your kids gets to Carnegie Hall.  You pay a few dollars for SAT coaching and your kids heads off to Harvard.  i doubt think anyone ("sane") entertains buyer's remorse.  Skills and objectives were attained.[/quote]

So are you saying that the parents who were upset at spending so much money to not get their hoped for result are not sane? And the parents whose kids did get in after spending all that money never wonder if their kids were capable of getting in on their own?

I would say that at least some of the kids probably could have been accepted without all the expensive outside help. And I would prefer to be saving my money for my child's college or grad school expenses than to spend it on outside help he doesn't need.
