[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The sanest path is to learn to love the school that admitted you. But you can stay on the other school’s waitlist and see what happens.[/quote] There is something to this advice. Having gone through this process, I really believe the schools are typically on target with which students will be right for their mix. It's not personal, but there is a certain fit per school. So I think that you have to trust the schools a bit that they are making solid choices out of many applicants, about who would be the best fit based on their offering because it's a two way street. They want the student to succeed as well. That being said, if a school chooses your student and it was one of your top choices, then be flattered. I would take the bird in the hand and begin looking closely at what's great about that school and why they think I am so great a fit for them.[/quote]
