[quote=Anonymous]They need to realize just because they know someone’s gpa and test scores, they don’t know the whole package. Did the kid have a rich spinster aunt, who left the school millions. Did the kid have a special bond with the person who wrote their recommendation and it reflected well. They need to understand a rejection is just what the admission person read on a piece of paper about your kid. And not a reflection that your kid is a failure. College acceptance is a great stepping stone for the world of getting a job. At the end of the day you send out hundreds of resumes and you get one response. You are not a failure just not a good fit. For years my kid wanted to go to one school, got in and knew quickly it wasn’t the one. People struggle with transferring, seeing it as a failure too. And again, just not a good fit.[/quote]
