[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a sad statement of the world today (I'm not blaming you - I feel awful for you). One bad grade should not ruin a kid. I'm pretty sure I had multiple final grades of B or so (but still finished in the top few % of my class at a good public HS) and got into multiple Ivy+ schools in the 90s. A's weren't handed out like candy and any SAT score over 1400 was great. The process is just so awful. But I don't know the answer.[/quote]

The thing that’s sad is parents acting like not getting into a very small handful of schools is “ruined”.  The reality is that the number of kids who are prepared for college has increased dramatically, and that the college market has responded by developing many more strong programs.  There are far more than 40 excellent schools that a kid can attend where they can excel and get a great education and go on to do great things.  It’s not the same as when we were growing up but it’s not worse, it’s just different.[/quote]
