Exactly. If you’re naturally a private person, sure, don’t talk about it—you’re not obligated to. And if your kid really doesn’t want people to know, respect their wishes. But otherwise just do what’s natural.[/quote]

These no one cares posters are insane.

If you say, I love Vanderbilt I'm going to apply there, there's not a chance a classmate will swoop in and apply ED? And that can hurt you.

if you say, oh I'm thinking of Pitt they have a good X department, someone else can the. get their app in sooner and maybe do better with admission and merit.

Like really what are you guys talking about. People care. It can hurt you [/quote]

I don’t look at everyone as competition and assume the worst. That’s a miserable way to go through life.

When my kid got rejected from an Ivy ED, one of the first things he said was that he hoped one of the other kids from his school who he’s friendly with got in (one did). They are different kids with different credentials, and the other kid’s were a better fit for what the school was looking for. That’s life. My kid applied ED2 to a school a classmate got into ED1; my kid also got in. It’s not zero sum. [/quote]
