[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the other posters who are worried about their shy kids, I just want to share that my extremely shy, introverted kid landed at a top school. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/546820.page/&

It's really hard to understand why or how a kid gets into a difficult school. I just think your energy is better spent encouraging your kid to be themselves and to become invested in the things they care about. [/quote]

I'm the PP who talked about her shy daughter. I completely agree with you. I just want my child to find a school where she will be happy and thrive. That's all I care about. But this thread made me curious to hear about how different personalities can or might impact admissions decisions, if she does want to attend a selective school (she may not, and I'm fine with that). But I agree absolutely that we should encourage kids to be themselves and pursue their interests. Congrats to your DC also. Hope he or she is happy with the school.
