<p>Two things I’ve learned from off-line discussions with parents and with students who’ve come “clean”:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>there is a good representation of BS and IVY/MIT parents on the boards.</p></li>
<li><p>there is a lot of exaggeration about “scores” and EC’s among students.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>As far as using the latter to judge one’s own (or ones child’s) success - Caveat reader…:)</p>
