[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my siblings. Nobody else in my friend group would have pushed so didn't have that issue.  But I told tightest circle - we all had kids applying to same schools.  not sure what the big secret is[/quote]

Could be lots of valid reasons you don’t  want to discuss outside the immediate household.

- Admitted but not enough aid, can’t go.
- Physical exam for a service academy discovered unknown medical problem.
- Deferred and waiting to hear final final answer.
- Wants to make a personal choice of school that is suitable for the child but extended family will have a hard time understanding.

The last one was me. Nothing like having all your family at your high school graduation party tell you your choice was bad and you’ll never get a job, really supportive.

If you suspect people won’t be 100% supportive, it’s wise to keep it to yourself. It really hurt me to have everyone bad mouth my choice.[/quote]
