[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the list is malicious. But I do think that it makes kids feel bad if they didn't get in and are watching many of their friends get in. It's kind of overwhelming. My kid wasn't even waitlisted and they are a straight A 99%ile TPMS magnet kid. They are not sad/lacking confidence, but they are definitely in their feelings about it (mostly anger and frustration).

So did kids with lower scores that your child get in? Is that the cause of anger/frustration?[/quote]

i have a kid who is definitely having higher scores in 280 upper range, A grades with mostly 100%, extracurriculars in school,  and was wait pooled for 2 and not selected for 2 more.  The sad part is DC was not even selected for one. MY kid definitely knows kids in their school very well below like 23 below in the score and got selected. It does make the kid feel bad, how come they were not selected even for one, when kids with lower score got in[/quote]

I'm sorry for your DC and sorry for the parents on this thread completely lacking in empathy. That's a high score. I know a couple kids who got in with lower scores. [/quote]
