[quote=Anonymous]So many people without kids in this age range have ZERO idea how unpredictable admissions have become — where a 1550 SAT, a 4.0, good extracurriculars, and even being full-pay doesn't automatically mean admission to any school considered "elite." And once you actually look into schools: Many considered "less than elite" by old snobs (including lots of DCUM commenters) have excellent professors, great student life, great research opportunities, great internship help, etc. All the things a smart, practical kid would want. To friends and family who are offering rude, unsolicited comments like this, how about: "It's clear you're not up to speed about the modern admissions process. School X is an excellent match for Larla, and we're all very happy with it." [/quote]
