[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ full disclosure - I am also the parent of a current senior. Is it the worst year? All I know is that the US college admission process, when you want selective schools, is very stressful compared to those in other countries.[/quote] I suppose, my friend's son had a conditional offer to Cambridge and missed his A-level offer by a letter grade. Talk about stressful! I think high education systems that depend on final cumulative exams are potentially more stressful and kids blame themselves more for missing the mark. At least you can spread achievement and extracurricular involvement over 3.5 years of HS in the US.[/quote]
