[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one cares. Almost everyone is genuinely rooting for your kid. Stop creating drama where none exists [/quote]

Exactly. If you’re naturally a private person, sure, don’t talk about it—you’re not obligated to. And if your kid really doesn’t want people to know, respect their wishes. But otherwise just do what’s natural.[/quote]

These no one cares posters are insane.

If you say, I love Vanderbilt I'm going to apply there, there's not a chance a classmate will swoop in and apply ED? And that can hurt you.

if you say, oh I'm thinking of Pitt they have a good X department, someone else can the. get their app in sooner and maybe do better with admission and merit.

Like really what are you guys talking about. People care. It can hurt you [/quote]

Opposite was true for us. Friends respected  each other's interests and fortunately didn't have strong overlap.  But, knowing what each other liked influenced them away from competing ED (not RD of course).

We are public school fam with no fancy legacy/connections,  so not as much buzz from family about where applying. In fact, family doesn't seem to fully recognize how amazing my kids' T10 admits are -- we all went to Christian college. Ha ha.[/quote]
