Rejected by Yale, accepted at Columbia. Loves it, in hindsight better for his major and is super happy being in NYC rather than New Haven.
It really does work out in the end. |

My observation is that kids usually got rejected by schools they think they love but not the best fit, and accepted by the best fit or at least a good fit but not their first choice originally.
Schools see through it they know how to pick. |

Maybe. People who love where they land are happier than people who hang onto the idea that another place would have been better. It's healthy to believe it was all for the best. |
