[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should convey to kids well before they apply that with so many amazing people who are smart and great at different things, there really is no notion of desert in elite college admissions. It is also what parents often fail to grasp. Your child doesn't "deserve it" (neither does mine).[/quote] The fact that many parents don’t seem to do this as evident by these forums is really sad. Makes me wonder if some parents are doing this to live through their kids. And at what cost? Saying your kid goes to Harvard or MIT will not single-handedly get you a seat at the table. People have to understand there’s more to life than this. [/quote]
