Dad…
Perhaps I mis-reading the post–however isn’t this the point–that the kids with both academic stats and athletic stats are fewer and therefore sought after…? Supply/demand etc…earns it</p>
<p>one thought to add…</p>
<p>I can say from knowing some parents IRL that a touch of humility would go a long way and help defuse things…people don’t really want to hear chapter and verse about how great your kid is…so sometimes keeping your great news private (most kids will be going through the RD process over the majority of their sr yr) will help </p>
<p>otoh</p>
<p>I know a parent of a very very bright young man–who got in HYP+ just everywhere–and one evening at a function, a parent of another student was just soooo rude and took out his frustrations about admissions on her because her son had his pick…
that is so ugly and not very mature/adult behavior at all.</p>
<p>We can only do our best to be responsible for our own behavior and realize we cannot take back words…</p>
