They paint a much rosier picture than the reality is turning out to be for kids who are not in one of those categories.
It really cannot be stressed enough this year.



Our child was accepted ED from not a big 3 private, and they are not hooked, nor an athlete, and we are not big donors or legacy

While you’re at it you should probably stock DMV public school pages you’d be surprised. And probably need a drink at your country club afterwards. Maybe 2!


THEY ARE PUBLIC INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS

Yes, public and you are very scary. This is not ok behavior. They are kid's Instagram pages for friends. Not cray adults.

Most of these kids are 18. It’s their choice. High school kids share a lot more things of concern on social media than college matriculation plans.

I have kids at two private schools and then did a quick insta search for a few others. I hope you get help with your own bizarre paranoia over this!

There is nothing stalkerish about checking public instagram pages.

These kids post by their own free will.

It's PUBLIC TO THE WORLD.

Are you 100 years old? Ask your high schooler. Kids who don't want to participate don't. Those that do don't care who sees their posts.

OK this makes sense but still ick.


Is it icky to go watch high school sports games? I mean, what exactly is the problem here? The information is being put out for public consumption.

It’s public info the students are choosing to share openly. Plenty of people are curious about where seniors end up going to college.

If you find it creepy, don’t look at the pages (but I’m guessing curiosity got the best of you and you did).

Just curious - what is the point of knowing this information?

I used to get creeped out by adult men who were so into the high school football recruiting scene (from the south) and I find this even creepier. These are 18yo kids.
