[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear parents obsessed with college admission stats -

Please keep in mind that if my younger, less fabulous child attends a school, it will not affect your super-fabulous child.

It will affect college admissions.  My kid could even end up at a not-DCUM worthy school (gasp!), but they may be great at art or music or sports or yearbook layouts or a great friend or really funny.  They do not actually need to go to The Best College to be a good human.  AND my not-fabulous kid will avoid holding back your fabulous kid by being in a separate math class, lower level language class, etc.  My kid will do his/her best to not hold yours down much as all.

So, while I recognize that college placement is one of the most easily accessible metrics, it does not begin to tell the whole story about any school.  Please try to keep that in mind throughout this process and if you really, really can't get past the possible acceptance of the almost-completely-average-amongst-classmates sibling, this is probably not the school for you.

You need to chill out.  This is a discussion board.  People discuss.  It's not an attack on your child.[/quote]
