[quote=Anonymous]We don't do social media but post on our Family and Friends Group Me.

We have family members whose kid applied to mostly instate publics and small privates for merit, and got 8 out of 9 acceptances (all except the instate flagship with 30% acceptance). We know, because they shared each and every one - some with pics of the acceptance emails. So if you are shopping for acceptances and "likes", that is easily accomplished - just aim low relative to your stats.

Our kid applied to a mix of safeties/matches/reaches. We did not share the rolling admission at the 2 safeties. One reach came before Xmas, and I did share that our kid got some disappointing news. That was mainly so that the family could be aware and sensitive to that and offer kind words when they bombarded him with questions. So as of that date, even though my kid had 3 acceptances the family figured he only got into 0 of 1. In the spring, we did share a 1 minute reveal video of him making his final decision between his top 2 finalists. (it was more of a he FInally made a decision video thought, and ended up being a reveal for us parents as we were recording it too, as we helped narrow it down but let him make that last decision 100% on his own.)[/quote]
