How is saying, "So happy for Sally, who got accepted to X University today!" boasting, or any different than a parent posting something like "FIrst place at the swim meet today - great job Sally!" which is something I see all the time?  If a parent posted a overtly braggy post like, "Sally got into Harvard EA!  Of course, we had no doubt she'd get in with her 4.0 GPA, 2400 SAT, NMF, three varsity sports and her non-profit to build wells and grow food for starving children in Africa!" that would be tacky and classless, but I've NEVER seen a parent post anything like that.

Please do tell.  Perhaps my social circle is different, but we tend to welcome hearing about the successes of others' kids so we can give congratulations where congratulations is due and share our happiness with that family.  Different strokes for different folks, I suppose :)[/quote]

The key here is "my social circle." Yes, that is different from a post on Facebook that goes out to all your 800 friends.

And even here, you need to know if your friends kids are applying to the same school before you do your announcement. [/quote]
