[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And yet, with all 3 of my kids and their friends and classmates, my nieces and nephews, my friends kids and neighbors kids, they all wound up just about where you would have expected them to go. Maybe the brightest kids didn’t get into Harvard or Stanford and had to “settle” for Bowdoin or USC but overall, the top performing kids all got into really good schools, the bright, good students who maybe took fewer APs or whatever ended up at strong schools like VA Tech or Lehigh or whatever, the weaker students who still put in good efforts went to known but lower ranked schools, and the kids who everyone knew screwed around in high school, and the kids who hit bumps in the road for some reason (health, drugs, family issues, etc) and the kids with real financial constraints went to community college. Then there are the kids who went to “lesser” colleges but got huge merit scholarships, and everyone understands that too.

There were very few surprises. So it all somehow seems to work out. [/quote]

Sure.  In the aggregate, people get what they deserve but if you are the one that screwed over.. [/quote]

How so? What is the harm done?[/quote]
