[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  As for point no 3 above, I think this is a case where may both be right based on our different experiences, different schools and different  students we are talking about.  I was not talking about "some random high schoolers," but the kids targeting admission to the most selective schools.  One only needs to peruse the College Confidential web site to see just how many students not only care about every available metric, but some probably obsess about it too much.      [/quote]The majority of kids posting on College Confidential are obsessed and are not representative of most high school students.  I asked my senior DC who says no one is running around chanting 'chance me'.[/quote]

Exactly!

Furthermore, those students are obsessed with THEIR OWN stats.

They couldn't tell you how they fair against their schoolmates. Nor do they care. They care only about THEIR OWN chances of getting into that highly selective school. They let the other kids worry about their own chances.[/quote]
