NYC prep schools institute dress codes, Facebook guidelines about college acceptance. Preps ban pride

Pathetic.

Accepted to Harvard? Shhh, don’t tell anyone!

In an attempt to ease the blow of a student’s first big rejection, New York prep schools are instituting dress codes and Facebook guidelines barring excited seniors from broadcasting their acceptance to top-tier colleges because it would hurt their classmates’ feelings.

At the hyper-competitive Horace Mann School, students are not permitted to wear college apparel, including status Ivy League sweatshirts, on campus until after May 1, when most students have settled on what school they’ll attend.

And at the Packer Collegiate Institute, students are instructed not to update Facebook with university news until after school lets out.

The way that the Troubles are diagnosed is with OBD-II scanners. These scanners are ordinarily made use of by auto repair shops but they are able to also be bought with patrons.
