[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread, more than any on DCUM, reveals that parents (1) stress too much about admissions and (2) take it waaaay too seriously (possibly to the detriment of their kid). A common theme among these stories is that the kid didn't try to be someone else. I'm not at all surprised that, in most instances, the kid discussed was admitted. Lighten up folks. If for no other reason than it actually *helps* in life not to be uptight and humorless. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time, even admissions officers. [/quote] It doesn’t surprise me either. Most people on this board have kids who were admitted to private school somewhere. Most people love to tell the cute story of how their kid “screwed up” but was admitted anyway. Most people here are full pay or close to it. [/quote]
