[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think your kids had it tough, count your lucky star that your kid is not an Asian boy.

My friend's son is in a "feeder" school for Harvard. Usually the top 5 gets in. He is #1, did not get into Harvard, did not get into any top choice schools, did not get into any second choice schools- even Tuft wait listed him. Two years ago his brother was passed over by Harvard as well, as #1 in his class, but at least he got into CMU.

I feel bad for the kid. So much for doing well in school. 
[/quote]I just don't get why you think your kid is better than the other 30,000 comparable students with the same or better scores than your kid.  Do you people realize there are just so many seats?

While I feel for your friend's son, you know that it's a crap shoot.  No such thing as a 'feeder' school even if it's Exeter or Andover.  Just so many seats are available.  Period.[/quote]

But he did not even get into Tufts.[/quote]

Neither did my daughter, and she's a pretty stellar student. I had to tell her over and over again not to take things personally. [/quote]
