[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is some blunt and then definitely some mean. But who is most likely to be bitter and mean? I'd say those that tried and got disappointing results. [/quote]

I have no skin in this game but I have received a ton of solicitations from friends for their kids’ fundraising events.

I’m sure some kids do their own fundraising. But many do not.

The fundraising thing was rampant at my kid's private HS over the last four years. It got really really annoying getting the spam from everyone asking for $$. Looking at the donations, they were very large...may $500-$1000, clearly from their parents' friends and relatives. It helps to be in a high socioeconomic tier to raise the maximum amount of money. These kids won all sorts of awards because of it. FWIW, any ivy admits at her school have been athletic recruits, so it hasn't show to be successful. We will have to wait and see where these kids end up, but I am seeing mediocre college results--of course with ivy day just two days ago, we have yet to see final outcomes. My kid didn't bother with that...she focused on service. She got into schools that value service vs. sending spam email.
