[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And threads like this are exactly why we’re encouraging our Wilson student to look far outside this area. Criticizing students’ acceptances and choices with little to zero idea of what their circumstances are is a blood sport here.

What if a student wants to be near relatives out of state? What if an ultra competitive environment is bad for their mental health? What if their family needs financial aid to make college happen? What if they found a place they really connect with that feels like the right fit? There is a whole world out there and lots of paths.

There are plenty of situations that are private and between the student and their family. I get that everyone wants what is best for their own kid. We do too. But critiquing the perceived value of students’ choices most of whom are complete strangers to the critics here, is inappropriate, harsh, and unnecessary. Focus on your own child. [/quote]

If the top students at a school aren’t getting in the top colleges, are any of the students from the school getting in the full set of options they wish they had?  Probably not.[/quote]
