[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents of the tippy top kids all know who the tippy top kids are. They’ve been together as a cohort since 6th grade. If a tippy top parent is asking you, they are being pleasant or curious. They know your kid isn’t going to Yale. So, relax. [/quote]

Not always. lol. We didn’t put our kid in all the enrichments, didn’t push the GT thing. Kid was very into their sport (not recruited). People had zero idea kid was straight A and perfect test scores. He ended up doing the best out of all of pthe tippy top kids in admissions. [/quote]

This is when I just shake my head at parents who post here claiming some kids with "lesser stats" got into an elite school while their own kid - supposedly with "much higher stats" did not.  They DO NOT KNOW the grades and test scores of any child other than their own.  It's astounding that they feel they do, and that others are actually going to believe them.  Not only do they not know any other child's stats, they also don't have any clue what ECs that kid does, especially if they're not school-related.

My own DC was admitted into very selective schools while some of her peers who were widely considered to be "the top" students were not.  The fact is, no one has any real clue about anyone's kid other than their own.  [/quote]

True, to an extent. If your school uses scoir you may be able to deduce exact gpa and sat of kids a year or more ahead of the current class. [/quote]
