[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more I read and learn about GDS the more I think that this school does nothing to build resilience in their students and parents just bulldoze their way for them.[/quote]

It has nothing to do with resilience. Here's what this thread says - GDS CCO gives no data (as in zero) to kids or parents in making college list. The list from HW sowed the GDS parents who saw it posted what other peer schools do/can do. And we know that local peers make scattergrams available. We also know that scattergrams can be unrealizable (includes hooks) and the HW data excludes sports or legacy hooks. So this is possible. GDS just chooses to go with a "trust your heart" strategy coupled with CCO pushing every kid to ED at a middle 50th school.

So parents look at that, compare to what they see from friend parents at Potomac, Albans/NCS/Sidwell and decide this is BS and go pay $5k to 10k to get outside counselor...who will never have the same type of data GDS CCo has on GPA.

So there we are. It has nothing to do with resilience unless you are just sniping because you see some parents rightfully complaining.
