[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess there's a fine line between gloating/bragging and celebrating.

To me, gloating is more like if I am happy others aren't succeeding which is not the case here. [b]It would be great, as far as I'm concerned, if everyone got what they wanted/needed.[/b]

However, I do think DCUM, the DMV in general and my kids' friends and their parents are a bit overly frothed up about high-status schools and that is one of the reasons I posted here. I want to reassure other parents that it's not highly-SLAC or die. There are many options for many types of kids and, in fact, some kids would be happier and more successful at less selective schools because those other schools are a better fit for the individual.

I am sensitive to other's feelings and haven't posted on social media and have only told a few select friends/family. Seeing as this is an anonymous forum, I figured it would be safe to be a little celebratory without hurting anyone's feelings. [/quote]

Not everyone can get a full-tuition scholarship.  Then all colleges and universities will go broke.  It's for a select few, probably the top 5% within your kid's college.  So, huge congrats to OP and his or her kid![/quote]

It doesn’t sound like a scholarship from the school it sounded like a private scholarship.[/quote]
