[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sidwell: 2 Harvard GDS 2 as well. Where is the problem?[/quote]

It's called a deep deep deep personal problem... it has nothing to do with any of the schools or where the students from them choose to take their lifes into, but rather the troubling mental state of the person who seems to make it their personal mission to tear these students down.[/quote]

+1 I’ve always wondered why full grown adults are so concerned with the lives of children they don’t even know… when you think about it, continuously stalking these Instagram pages is really weird.[/quote]

Just look at the Colleges & Universities forum. The parents there are constantly refreshing these commitment pages, counting HYPSM admits, and making conclusions based on how the kids look in the pictures.[/quote]

I don't think the parents actually care about individual kids and who goes to where. That is gossip. They just care about college outcomes. [/quote]

I’m optimistically believing this - so few schools post matriculation lists on their website nowadays. If they did, I don’t think parents would be scouring class Instagram pages. And I don’t mean a list of all colleges attended but one with specific numeric breakdowns.[/quote]

Yes, for prospective high school parents paying $60K a year, i think it is reasonable to believe they also care about college outcomes and IG page gave pretty good information.  Of course, everyone pat one's shoulder to say it is ok to go to Penn State and they are paying for a premier education. I can't for once believe the sidwell parents don't care about college outcomes. They want HYP as well as good writing skills out of their kids.
