[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious OP - why continue on with RDs at other institutions if you got in SCEA Harvard?  It's expensive, time-consuming, nail-biting, an enormous hassle and a stressor on your kid.  I don't get it.[/quote]

I see nothing wrong with a successful senior benchmarking that success by applying to other Top Ivies. [/quote]

That's the kid who will end up without close friends and other families for future recommendations and  network.  What people don't think about is greediness leads them to be viewed as  selfish, inconsiderate and either not very smart about or blundering their social collateral.  With all the early hooks, seldom would most view entry as the sign of a senior being successful purely on academic merit so what is that benchmark worth?  What will be noted and remembered is the lack of character.   Families who do this are forever remarked upon as lacking graciousness and not to be trusted.  And in your case it didn't work so your DC's H success is not going to be attributed to merit at all on her part.  The most successful families we know do not do this.[/quote]
 
My kid got into HYPS this year SCEA.  Never in a million years would DC apply to other schools for a benchmark.  First, it could hurt DC's fellow classmate's chances to get into the other schools.  Second, what more of a benchmark would DC need? [/quote]

Our DC did too but did not pull other apps to top schools. People can and do whatever they want. Don't care if people are mad. [/quote]
