[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP -- I'm pretty sure we're not at the same school, but I know what school you're at and can even figure out some of the students you're referring to (for better or worse) because the DC-private school world is pretty small. At our DC private something similar is happening. There are a few stark examples of big money/name recognition kids getting into Ivies when their classmates with far better grades/scores, much more rigorous courseloads, and better ECs are not getting in. It's depressing, but [b]it's a lesson for our kids about how unfair this world of ours is.[/b][/quote] Your kids are lucky this world is so unfair. If it was fair, I'm guessing they'd have a whole lot less than they do right now. I don't like the state of college admissions but privileged families complaining about life being unfair is lacking in perspective. [/quote]
