[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know very few parents or children that are uneducated about the difficulty of gaining acceptance into extremely elite schools. It is a dream, not reality and they are aware.[/quote] Then why are so many stunned and devastated each year? (as evidenced by posts to this site). Saying that if their child can't get into some elite school, the whole system is broken. That the process was "horrific." That does not sound like grounded people who know how to interpret statistics and therefore understood all along that rejection was the most likely outcome. I think many have an unhealthy attachment to external badges of merit.[/quote]
