This is serious fake news.

One more page with Harvard, etc:

That kid going to Harvard is going to be really disappointed when he realizes they don’t have a business major.

Seeing the stats gives me pause, b/c if my child goal was just to get into the lower tier top25 we could’ve just stayed local. Unfortunately my child has no hooks.

I’m seriously considering a private consultancy service to gain advantage in this hyper competitive arms race. It’s already 80k a year for tuition, not to mention time spent for child away us parents. At this point, what’s another 30-50k?

Sigh

Uhh. I find these social media postings creepy. Why would these schools do this? It's one thing to list the schools where your students got accepted, but it's another to post poofed up pictures of young men and women for the entire universe to gawk over. I expect children to do this stuff. Not grown adults.

It almost feels like some creepy modeling agency.

By the way, my kid's MCPS high school could post a bunch of Ivy and T20 ED accepted posts too, but they don't.

+1. This is such a poor taste I don't know where to begin. DC's MCPS school had a fair share of Ivy and T10 too last year. They don't do this. In fact one of the teachers gently reminds kids to take his peers' emotions into account.

Are you always such a stick in the mud, PP? I love the posts and am happy for the kids. Sorry that is so hard for you to see.

My kid got into an Ivy early and they would NEVER think of posting. Very braggy.

Oh please. It's a life milestone. Congratulations to your kid. I'm happy for him/ her, even if you like to feign humility. We're not all so fragile, PP, that we can't handle someone else's good news.

You know quite well it isn't the parents who those posts impact. A lot of kids have a rough ride ahead and I guess you're the type who would just walk over them to announce your success. Sickening.

First of all, show me one 17 YO high school senior who is on Facebook. Of course it's about the mamas who can't handle the disappointment.

And if your kid truly cannot handle seeing notice online of classmates' success, in the face of his/ her own bad news, then you, mom, have done a poor job in raising your child.

Congrats to all, from these and other schools! There are others (most seniors I'm aware of) who haven't posted where they are going yet since they only post when final decision is made. This I'm guessing is true across schools, so hopefully even more students are happy to have their college search over!
