Just. Wow. Either a troll, or victim of some bizarre “Top-5 or Bust!” mentality. Because, you know, only losers would go to Northwestern, Dartmouth or Cornell. This truly stretches the bounds of plausibility.

She has plenty of great options.

Jeff definitely deleted them. I honestly couldn’t tell if it was a troll, it was so weird.

This thread is definitely giving similar vibes. If real, it’s so troubling. (But how can it be real?)

We’re not sure how to help her through this or what to do next.

Retail therapy is required here. Go get gel manicures, lunch and a fun day of shopping. This is a disappointment but teach her to make lemonade from lemons here. Go have some fun!

Oh god. This seems exactly wrong.

How is she doing now? Did she choose a school?

Not good. She won’t leave the house to go anywhere (including activities, school tomorrow), and won’t talk to anyone, just cries. No, she hasn’t picked a school, she refuses to talk about that.

Please stop feeding this troll. It takes another level of insanity to keep this bit up for 13 pages, OP.

I don't know if you are the dad or mom. But if you are the dad you can really make a difference in her confidence. Remind her that you love her and that she is as worthy as anyone.

You need to let your daughter know that getting to a school she didn’t like does not mean anything. Success in life is about hard work and resilience. If she thrives in any other school she will succeed. There are rich people in our society that graduated from Tier 2 and Tier 3 schools. And there are also others who went to Ivies but have not been as successful. So a school does not define her life.

Obviously, she will choose Northwestern. It is the highest ranked school on her list. That is 100% how this family rolls.

Get professional help.

I mean, I don’t believe you. But if this was a real person, they would need professional help.

I predict a “lower Ivy.”
