[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no email from Walls saying DC didn’t make the cut, and I’m sure they didn’t: DC had a 3.1 GPA in 7th. (Went up to a 4.0 as soon as school reopened, but Walls doesn’t care. DC applied to prove that point to the shocking number of people who flat-out refused to believe it when DC tried to explain it to them.)[/quote] Refused to believe what? Walls has always used 7th grade transcripts for 9th grade admissions.[/quote] You know how grownups refuse to take kids seriously. “Oh, but you’re so smart.” “Oh, that’s tough, but you’ll get in, the waitlist almost always clears.” “You should have more confidence in yourself.” Don’t worry, my kid understands. And I agree with the PP that the life lesson is as valuable as anything taught in the classroom. Kid is just tired of being patronized, and figured it would be easier to say “I didn’t get in” than “I didn’t apply.” It’s not as if the application process was onerous.[/quote]
