[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are full pay. DS accepted with amazing merit to several schools. He chose to go to a top-rated SLAC sans merit. BEST choice ever. He is having an amazing experience and absolutely loves it. Unlike many of his high school friends, he has access to virtually unlimited resources (courses, professors, career services, clubs, internship stipends, housing etc.). Once you see your child thriving, you will not second guess this decision.

On to the matter of class divide: DS is best friends with a QuestBridge Scholar. Although many of his friends are wealthy, not all are. There is absolutely no division, stigma or animosity from either side. I'm calling BS on that. [/quote]

the fact that the MOTHER of the friend of the Questbridge kid knows he's a Questbridge is gross.  This is very "I'm not a racist! my son's best man is Black!" vibes[/quote]

Please stop using the word “gross” completely out of context.  Stepping in a pile of dogs**t is gross.  [b]Knowing your kid’s friend is Questbridge is inappropriate, [/b]but it’s not gross.

I assume you are the same poster who thinks literally everything with which you disagree is “gross”.

How is it inappropriate? School districts put out press releases to announce kids who are Questbridge scholars. Colleges publicize it too. It's a huge accomplishment. [/quote]
+1 These idiots treat QuestBridge like it's a scarlet letter. It's a wonderful honor and something to be proud of.[/quote]

Did you participate in Questbridge?  I did and it was NOT any honor.  It was and is a very burning scarlet letter.  I would never share that publicly.  [/quote]
