[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Sorry but I have to agree with the PP. I personally know many of the sidwell kids and they are truly an extraordinary group of kids. I would not want to be the Yale admissions officer responsible for rejecting some of those kids...[/quote] Well, they can't all be National Merit Semifinalists, because Sidwell only had 6 total this year. And those admissions officers will sleep as soundly as can be, knowing that a) it's only early action; b) the rejected students will attend some other highly selective college; and c) that their job by definition entails rejecting hundreds or even thousands of wonderful young people. Kids will do better if people don't act as if a tragedy has occurred because they did not get into their early option. It's like when a toddler trips -- they look at your face to see if they should cry or shrug it off.[/quote]
