[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me happy my kid goes to Einstein.

We publish all these kids’ achievements in the paper and argue on the internet about whose kids are better and smarter, and then we wonder why they have anxiety disorders.[/quote]
I agree with you. I am the parent of a senior at wootton who is very competitive and the pressure is high. And it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day. I have a younger child who is not as competitive, and being in this type of environment is just demoralizing for him. 
Some of these comments are  :shock: [/quote]

The world is full of pressure and competition.  Maybe instead of calling it demoralizing we should be figuring out how to compete well.  Or get left behind.  And then have to go to UMD.  (Just kidding on the last part! Calm down UMD boosters.)[/quote]

The overall acceptance rate at UMD is 44%.  It must be higher at the schools profiled in Bethesda Magazine because they generally have well-prepared students.  No one says that UMD is the elite of the elite, but it is harder to get into than it was a generation ago.  Honors College selection can seem a bit random, but it's a good program.[/quote]
