<p>well we all think it's worth keeping =P</p>
<p>georgetown notified my high school when my friend got defered</p>
<p>At my school, the student has to tell the guidance counselor of acceptances/rejections.</p>
<p>i agree with citygirlsmom, it really is bizzare! That's so harsh for someone only getting into the "lesser" school or one that no one has heard of.</p>
<p>With 350 seniors, the morning anouncements would get really long if they announced college acceptances. How big are these classes that they are announcing for?</p>
<p>My daughter's school knows when each student is accepted or rejected. At year-end, they publish a report that is sent out to all parents (not just seniors) where each senior is going next year.</p>
<p>They announce the acceptance "ONLY IF" students want to (for the third time), so no one's hurt. I don't know why it would be harsh for anyone, since so many of our top ranks (or mid ranks, rest are i-dont-care-at-all-seriously) keep the results private. No one really minds. </p>
<p>mamabear, the college don't notify the students on the same day. Usually there were 5~8 people announced each day on December (EA/ED's) - some people bring the letter right after while some celebrate more and bring it. I imagine there would be more people on late march~early april, but it does not take away too much time.</p>
<p>Our graduating class is small, way under 350. Acceptances are announced as they come in, so rolling, ED, EA, and eventually RD - whatever. It doesn't take all morning by any means. And actually, there is nothing harsh about it, everyone receives recognition regardless of the school. </p>
<p>
<p>not all "traditions" are worth keeping..
</p>
<p>Well that's your opinion. From your posts it sounds like there are a lot of things about your daughter's middle school you don't like. It's too bad that's the kind of experience you have had. Luckily, not everyone does.</p>
<p>my school knows somehow... it always takes a while but they know every school you are accepted, rejected, waitlisted, and deferred from. and you never have to tell them anything</p>
<p>I like the question. However, all answers are anecdotal from individual HS students' experiences.</p>
<p>Any HS GCs out there know whether app decisions are formally transmitted from college to HS hc, on a formal basis?</p>
<p>Our experience: I can only recall recall one out of 12 apps inserting an explicit CC (carbon copy :) ) to the HS gc in the answer letter.</p>
<p>At my school, there's a little board in the foyer. It has different schools' names and underneath each heading are the pictures and names of the kids going to those schools. The UCs/CSUs are on the bottom because they're usually the majority and the ones on top have the acceptance letter framed next to the picture if you get into a top school. For example, last year we managed to get one into Stanford and another into Wellesley. This was an accomplishment given that our high school used to have a lot of people only going to UCs (and not trying anywhere else) or not even going to a four-year.</p>
<p>Our GCs now somehow, regardless if we tell them or not. However, we also have a board in the office where seniors can say which school they got accepted to and which one they will attend, but its completely up to the student to put their name on the board.</p>
<p>I guess I don't have much problem with allowing kids to announce their admissions, or put them on a board, or whatever. What I can't believe is that a school would actually make a decision that some admissions are better than others, and display those differently.</p>
<p>Our acceptances and scholarship wins go in the morning announcements, which are read over the intercom and can be read online each day. Each acceptance gets recognized, no matter where it is. I go to a competitive private school.</p>
<p>I think that's really odd they're announced... our school publishes the schools we're attending next year in the may newsletter (not all the schools we're accepted to)</p>
<p>Colleges send our school a report each May of the students attending/accepted/deferred/rejected/waitlisted. I bet that goes to all high schools</p>
<p>Tulane notified my school. The other schools I got accepted to didn't though?</p>
<p>From the you guys' posts, I am guessing that it depends on colleges, not high school.</p>
