[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well at least it's just the grandparents. In our case, it's my husband! He thinks DS should be able to get in most places with mostly As and A-s, maybe 5 APs by end of senior year, a sport and above average SATs. "He can still make it into one of the ivy's or the military academies (his big thing) if he just Aces the last two years." Ugh. He graduated high school in the 80's - he has no clue no matter how I try to inform him. He says I'm just a negative Nancy. Poor kid is going to end up with anxiety at this rate.[/quote] Lots of parents are delusional through sophomore year, but then start to hear more realistic experiences from friends. Same way a bunch of parents in elementary/middle school talked about the realistic possibility of a full ride athletic scholarship to selective schools for moderately talented kids - they stopped mentioning that in HS.
