<p>I have no agenda here. Just a couple of thoughts.</p>
<p>I do think that posters have the right to privacy, and that it is entirely likely that some posters fictionalize and fudge here and there to try to maintain some privacy.</p>
<p>I believe it is quite possible that a person posing a question might change a few identifiers to maintain some privacy. I can imagine that a person might be asking a legitimate question, but might change a few facts to protect themselves and their child. I can believe that a person might substitute one college for a similar college. Perhaps the OP was asking for our thoughts about “colleges like these”, where his son had been accepted. Not Grinnell or Wesleyan, but colleges similar to Grinnell or Wesleyan, colleges with an early action application option, where acceptances might have been sent. Perhaps the OP felt that it would be too easy to identify him or his child IRL if he posted the actual colleges where his child had been accepted. </p>
