[quote=Anonymous]It’s really bad in the hyper-competitive privates. My kid says several kids haven’t announced yet and thinks it’s because they didn’t get in anywhere “good” and are praying they get off a waitlist before they have to tell. What contributes is kids rarely turn down a school for financial reasons so others assume where they are going is best they could do. In some cases there is glee because many of the party/social kids aren’t going to top schools. Some see it as chickens coming home to roost in the mean girls’ coops there. There is some compassion for good students who others believe didn’t get fairly treated in the admissions process/got screwed for no good reason. But the whole atmosphere for seniors right now is intense and would be hard to take no matter how good you are at letting things roll off your back. I think a lot of grownups would find it just as tough to get through. The best armour is a kid being truly happy about where they are going. [/quote]
