No!!! Not calling you out at all. I am just wondering if there’s a rule or we all kind of live by an unspoken, don’t out schools, kind of vibe.
Only because I think your negative experience is valid - even if it was your experience and other people feel differently. But I get not wanting to say it in public because there are posters who go nuts whenever someone criticizes “their” school.
I’ve definitely observed this as an interesting phenomenon here. Certainly seems to be an unspoken rule. What’s strange to me is that it seems quite selectively applied. In some cases people obviously feel no compunction about relating a critical experience they’ve had, with all sorts of specifics including of course the name of the school. In others it’s “our school” or “DD’s school” or whatever.
Lost in virtual communication-- my “calling out” comment was meant to be humerous. I hope you realize I wasn’t at all offended.
I thought so but I wasn’t 100% sure 
Not against the rules now way or another. But some users choose not to reveal such details. And that’s fine too. At the end of the day, each person needs to make up their own mind.
Understandable. We had challenges with certain schools too. It was a difficult year but it was hard not to take it personally when it was our kid’s interactions and we were feeling sidelined or misunderstood.
Choate began as my kid’s first choice and ended the process as the first or second school whose offer of admission he declined. The main reason was mediocre communication and lack of warmth from his AO as well as very poor response from the orchestra conductor and basketball coach (who didn’t respond at all, despite a supposed push from the AO). It was the biggest disappointment of the entire process.
My son applied to a few schools post M10 with rolling admissions. (He was accepted at one and is heading there). However, one of the ones that he had a fairly active process with…totally ghosted him. No rejection letter, no WL letter, no communications at all after he had submitted everything.
I know schools have tons of applicants to deal with but, even if it fell between the cracks…well frankly it should never fall between the cracks.
