[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious OP - why continue on with RDs at other institutions if you got in SCEA Harvard?  It's expensive, time-consuming, nail-biting, an enormous hassle and a stressor on your kid.  I don't get it.[/quote]

I see nothing wrong with a successful senior benchmarking that success by applying to other Top Ivies. [/quote]

That's the kid who will end up without close friends and other families for future recommendations and  network.  What people don't think about is greediness leads them to be viewed as  selfish, inconsiderate and either not very smart about or blundering their social collateral.  With all the early hooks, seldom would most view entry as the sign of a senior being successful purely on academic merit so what is that benchmark worth?  What will be noted and remembered is the lack of character.   Families who do this are forever remarked upon as lacking graciousness and not to be trusted.  And in your case it didn't work so your DC's H success is not going to be attributed to merit at all on her part.  The most successful families we know do not do this.[/quote]
Trust me, no one will even remember, let alone nurse a grudge. Do you remember who applied to which college back in High school? If you do, I would think you were a bit psycho.[/quote]

The families of the class remember their impress of the kid and the family.  And it's not years down the road.  It's early as internships and first jobs out of college.    [/quot
PP, you’re either batshit crazy or still chafed because you ended up at some third tier college and looking to assign blame. High school doesn’t matter anymore. Drop the chip, move on.[/quote]
