[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel sorry for all of you who bought into the BS that your kids have to go to an elite college or they are doomed to a life of mediocrity. I feel bad for your kids for getting sucked into it, but as the adults you should've given them better guidance that all these top schools are a lottery. Even for kids with the over 4.0 and perfect test scores and all the ECs, they are are still looking at a 1 in 10 shot at getting in to these schools. Yes, it sucks for the kids. Not because they didn't get in, but because they had unreasonable expectations of getting in. You should have told them to spend more time looking at "lesser" schools that they would be excited about getting accepted instead of framing it as a failure. And all the comments about how the kids should've lied about their race, just wow. What's worse - not getting in to their top choice, or getting in only because they lied?[/quote] +1[/quote]
