You are 100% correct ( i am an Indian myself)... its more for self gratification than for any of those things they mention. These are parents who are trying to live their unrealized dreams through their kids lives while trying to up their social stature within the community. For those exact same reasons mentioned - we didnt apply to TJ at all...kid is waitlisted in AOS/AET both at this time. If not either of those, perfectly fine with the base school. Sun will rise the next day!



In my view - The above 2 posts are a generalized ill informed opinion :

Irrespective of nationality/ethnicity - I think lot of parents who reject TJ or AOL do not do apply for self gratification . Most of the parents go by kids opinion/suggestion by teacher and apply for both schools knowing well that they have to reject either of one if the kids gets into both. Reason for that is they want to provide the kids options to choose from.

Every year There have been cases of kids who got into AOL and TJ but later changed mind to go to Base school for multitude of reasons..

Weren't these factors not known before applying to TJ?


True. Please better not to apply if you are not interested in those schools. If any kid declines the offer , that goes to common pool.
