[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to those who got in!

Just watching this thread in awe of how competitive it’s gotten.

DH went to Michigan (class of 2007). He’s from Ann Arbor and wonders if he would’ve gotten in today. 3.99 unweighted GPA and ACT score of 35. (I’m not insane — I only know this because I was literally telling him about this thread 5 min ago). Great violist, but didn’t win national competitions or anything.

I know he’d love for DD to eventually go to Michigan (as would I). She’s only 4 so when she’s 18, god knows what it’ll take ... curing cancer?[/quote]

Wow.  You're sharing your 36 year old husband's high school stats?  Yea, you are insane . . . [/quote]

Like I said, we literally were having this convo today. You’re telling me you’ve never talked about how much more competitive admissions is now for the school you went to?

Sure, maybe.  But you're posting your husband's high school stats to the decimal point -- even making a point of telling us that his 3.99 GPA was unweighted! -- and talking about where you want your FOUR YEAR OLD to go to college.   That's over the top, even for DCUM. [/quote]

NP.  You're the one who is taking it "over the top,"  PP, not the person you're responding to.

I read her post and agreed with her and then you came in with a throw down because ...  I dunno  ... you have mental problems and you're threatened by adult conversation!?!  It is reasonable to know your spouse's academics stats just like it is reasonable that, if you liked your school, you would hope that your child can go there some day.

So go away and play with the kids.  When you're mature enough to converse appropriately then come back.[/quote]

Sorry, but it's weird to know your spouse's "academic stats" to the letter.  My spouse and I both have graduate degrees.  We couldn't tell you each other's high school, college, or grad school GPAs or any of our test scores if you put guns to our heads.   This poster only knows her husband's because he's still fixated on them after 15 years.  That, too, is weird. [/quote]

DP. No, sorry. If my husband was reading this thread on his phone in bed and turned to me and said, what was your high school GPA and SAT (which is what she preemptively said happened), I would respond, 98 and 1380. I got a 3.48 undergrad and approximately a 3.75 in grad school. It is only natural to wonder what your young children can achieve one day and what it will take. She's not weird, but you're obsession with making her seem like she is, is.

And you know what, I'm obsessed with calling you out because being mean and insulting for no reason when it's completely uncalled for makes this board less helpful and the world a less kind place. It ticks me off and I don't like it.[/quote]

A passing by reader. I am with you.
