[quote=Anonymous]Neighbor girl is a senior (minority) and I've known her since she was a toddler. This girl is DRIVEN. Her GPA is insane, pushed herself to take every advanced course there is in HS, took SATs multiple times after many prep courses. Well rounded with sports, clubs, a job, etc. She basically didn't have a social life to pursue the academic track that her parents expected of her. Her first choice of school was UVA -- outright denied. I will NEVER set my kid up that kind of devastation. Ever. Witnessing this go down has been one of the most heartbreaking things and the parents are lovely and well-intentioned but it simply did not need to happen like this. She should be enjoying HS and celebrating whatever school she gets into, not going into a depression about not getting into her parents alma mater.  I've learned so much from this scenario and saw it play out over the last 4 years....it.is.not.worth.it!!!! I hope you think loooooong and hard before you do this to your child, OP.[/quote]
