<p>People post all sorts of stupidity – embarrassing stuff to career-jeapordizing to near criminal stalking/bullying. This isn’t any different IMHO.</p>
<p>FB and other similar media are just another vehicle for some people’s bad judgment and impulsiveness.</p>
<p>S would be mortified if I posted anything like this-and for good reason.</p>
<p>I have never seen anyone post rejections but see plenty of college visit reports and acceptance brags. Then of course there are the poignant stories of taking kids to college freshman year, which I love.</p>
<p>I am nothing more than a very casual facebook user who posts rarely and never anything personal. I absolutely hate the bragging aspect of it so my first reaction to this was, wow, finally, someone was honest. I immediately retracted that thought and then wondered who would violate another person’s privacy like that? Your own child’s privacy? </p>
<p>I ended up completely agreeing with T26E4.</p>

<p>We may all be shocked by this - but I doubt that the kids are. They’ve known their parents long enough to likely have seen this coming. The good news? Even if they didn’t get into their ED schools, they will get in somewhere . . . and they’ll finally be able to move out of the house and get some privacy!</p>

<p>You think? Fifteen minutes of fame, some silly interviews, and the subsequent realization that not everybody found her endearing. The thought of entering college and being known for being “that” brat was probably enough to try finding better luck in Israel for a gap year. </p>
<p>Ah the greatness of anonymity.</p>
<p>^ Interestingly, she does not list “Suzy” under her “Also Known As” names on the Michigan Directory. Guess she doesn’t want to be “known as” Suzy Lee Weiss at Michigan ;)</p>
<p>Why not – it’s “social media”, that paradigm which makes it feel appropriate to certain people to promote any aspect of your intimate personal life for world-wide review. Well done, Zuckerberg.</p>
<p>I’m sure these are the same entitled parents that came to the rescue whenever something didn’t go right for junior. This is an instance where they can’t. Since they are so sure everyone cares, they try to shame the school that rejected their little snowflake.</p>
<p>I can’t imagine any parent posting weak stats, for any reason. More likely the parents post stats they believe to be excellent, and are fishing for compliments such as “Your son is so brilliant; I can’t believe he didn’t get in!” “Any college would be lucky to have such an outstanding student as your daughter!” Really just another form of bragging.</p>
