[quote=Anonymous]I do not understand the negative responses. I think if you post that way it says way more about you than OP.

Let's say you went to Penn (totally random example) and your kid would be a very solid candidate. Very good chance of getting in. But the kid likes Dartmouth (also random example) a bit better. Kid has worked hard and would love to attend an Ivy.

Do you encourage them to apply early to Dartmouth? Probably not. They don't dislike Penn, and that's their best chance to go to an elite university. If they apply to Dartmouth without the legacy bump, they may get rejected from there and Penn. I went to a similar college and they really encourage legacy kids to apply in the early round.

This is a reasonable question. If you feel the need to criticize and attack OP, please take stock and examine your own life. If this doesn't apply to you, you should not feel the need to respond.

I am confident OP is not a troll not only because I could have written her post, but the way she calmly DGAF about the nasty responses seems like a HYPS grad.[/quote]
