[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Girl at our school. Probably a smart kid, probably good test scores, but not a top student and without top rigor.  Got into Northwestern journalism.  [/quote]

I hate the parents who claim to know the gpa and schedules for other people’s kids. Mind your own business. You don’t know all that you think you know.

kids in smaller private  schools know who is in the advanced classes (most rigor) and have been around classmates for 4-12 years.  they know a lot about each other.  They may not know exact numbers, but they know who is taking what, how engaged they are in classes, who does what activities, who gets in trouble, etc.

Not to the point where they care to share with their parents.

The parents don't know sh*t, yet they spout OTHER kids's stats like they are the registrar. [/quote]

They do it to make themselves feel better when their own kid doesn't get in somewhere.  Happened to my DC - other parents were shocked when she got into three very selective schools.  These people need to stop underestimating other people's kids.[/quote]
