[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who post on the college admissions threads talking their kid "stats."  Parents who think they have unique wisdom on how college admissions works.  Parents who are obsessed with college admissions.[/quote]

Yes I was so nervous and scared last year after reading the college board for a year. My kid is completely average and was admitted to all of the places he applied. It was really no big deal. DCUM is a weird place full of 350k HHI, [b]1400 SAT/4.2 GPAs. [/b][/quote]

Please define average. Unweighted GPA? Test scores?

My sense is dcum parents define average as APs, great grades and test scores, unique extracurriculars, etc.—just not ivy level.

I want to know where a 3.4 kid with no APs and crummy test scores because they suck at math ends up. DCUM says community college. [/quote]

The bolded is my kid and based on DCUM, and I was afraid he wouldn't get admitted anywhere. That's average by DCUM standards.

Well, 4.2 isn’t average. If you don’t realize that, then you are part of the dcum bubble with a skewed perspective. Of course a kid with those stats easily got into college! [/quote]
