[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because I think OP was tone deaf on this issue doesn't mean I have sour grapes about her child's success. FWIW my kids have had their share of acceptances and rejections at "several of the top 5 schools" as well. Oops, now I'm humble bragging. ;) [/quote] Same here! We turned these top privates down for magnets, and now DC is going to an ivy. Guess what? I posted that OP is clueless and tone deaf, and I believe that. When people asked me about colleges, I had a ready answer that involved a lot of eyerolling about luck and how DC fit a really special niche (not a hook) they needed, all to make it seem like this wasn't a judgment on their kids. It's not hard to be kind and thoughtful in this process, and it costs nothing when you're already really happy about your own kid's outcome. It just seems like OP is absorbed in her own wonderfulness that she doesn't want to make the effort.[/quote]
