[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with you people?  You are posting such specific information that your children are identifiable. Why would you do that?  Its their lives, not yours, and its not a game where you show your hand at the end.  Its one thing to say the specific school your child will attend (though I have to ask: why?) but its another to list all the schools AND the financial aid.  Do your children know you are doing this?

Why would the children care about the financial award info? Any financial aid my child is (or is not) given is due to MY financial situation. Those are MY tax forms we used to fill out the FAFSA. And why is a financial or merit aid award a state secret anyway? What harmful information could possibly be gleaned from that?

There is no way that anyone is identifiable to a stranger here. I suppose there is a remote chance that someone who already knows me or DC could look at a list of colleges and think, those are the schools Larla applied to. In which case, they already know where Larla applied, they likely already know where Larla will attend, and I don't care if they know Larla is going there because she got a big merit aid award. In fact, I'm happy to tell people about schools that are generous with aid for kids with stats like my Larla's. So in fact, I feel the exact opposite about sharing this info--I don't care who recognizes me and I don't think the info is personal in any way, and I actually WANT to share it.

So, what's wrong with you, why do you think this info is so personal that it can be shared on an anonymous board?[/quote]
