[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disappointment here is rough. We all know (even DC) that they will get over it. But there is no excitement. DC was accepted to two foundational schools, deferred one; WL one target and reject two others; rejected two reaches. He has excellent stats including 1500+ SAT. DC private. I’m a little worried the lesson he will learn is, “I worked my ass off when I could have been goofing off more, and I still only got in the same school as Larlo who has way worse grades and doesn’t try.”[/quote] +1 The worst part is some of the parents maneuvering their kids into ivies under the guise of "playing a sport" - when they are practically on the sidelines. How do you explain that to a kid, when the school is not that big, and the class knows full well where everyone ranks? A kid at the bottom of the class going to an ivy? I know it's an important "life lesson" - doesn't make it not bullsh*t. [/quote]
