[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, I have to say I am sorry OP's kid didn't get in. But I think there's a ton of hyperbole going on here. It may be the good economy means more applicants and thus just a numbers game harder to get in. That's probably what is going on. Because, anecdotally, I know kids who got into top schools without tutors and without all the upper NW parental angst. Just fairly normal brights kids with laid back parents (who are full pay). I don't think denigrating DCPS is the best message. Maybe just saying sometimes you win, sometimes you lose might be a better message to receive here. [/quote] And there is no polite way for those of us with better results to counter the hyperbole without seeming to pour salt on OP's wounds. Which leaves OP's poor impression hanging out here as the singular reality.[/quote]
