[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately he will probably not get in to a really high prestige school. Most likely his grades are inflated and he doesn’t sound like the kind of kid who is going to get glowing letters of recommendation or have lots of rich and deep activities embedded in his resume since he doesn’t seem to care about others. Lots of kids think cheating to an absurd GPA is the ticket but it’s the whole package and the schools he likely wants to get into will see that behind his grades there isn’t much positive. [/quote]

Uh, again, it's like people responding don't have teenagers, and have never been teenagers themselves. The way this kid treats Mommy is not how he treats others in his life. I guarantee it.[/quote]

Except I’m a high school teacher who wrote that and yeah he probably does. I don’t know how to tell you this but if your own mom gets on the internet to lament how unlikeable and nasty you are, the teachers see that too. And we’re the ones who have to write letters of recommendation and such. I’ve had a lot of kids over the years ask for me letters because they have “good grades” but I can’t find a positive thing to say about their character or
how they treat others or what they contribute to any kind of community. They’re just about themselves and their GPA. [/quote]
