[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a college freshman. I recall that last year there was so much stress and pressure on the HS seniors at this time. The lucky kids got into their ED or EA schools. The less lucky ones got rejected and deferred. I saw zero need to add to anyone's stress by talking about my child's ED acceptance on social media. We told the grandparents, and a few very close family friends who asked us directly. Those parents who did post about their kids' college acceptances in December on social media came off as so obnoxious and tone-deaf. There is way too much pressure on HS seniors with respect to college, and one way parents can help lessen this pressure is to ratchet down the significance of an acceptance. So my strong suggestion would be to just wait until everyone has heard. It just seems like basic kindness. [/quote]
