[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entitlement despite the fact that there are thousands of kids domestically and internationally with similar academic profiles applying to the same 50 schools.[/quote] It's not "entitlement" so stop saying that. THey aren't saying their kids are ENTITLED to get in. They are saying their kids worked hard, got great grades, checked all the boxes. And working hard has, in the past, managed to get those kids into "good" colleges. That is not the norm now. But, many parents' views are colored by what has been the case in the past. You can argue whether the past v. present is the better model. But that feeling is not "entitlement."[/quote] There have been a lot of posts by parents on numerous threads using the word "deserved" after their DC got rejected or WLd. That's entitlement.[/quote]
