[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her mope and just[b] say she'll end up at the school she's meant to be.[/b] Her hard work in high school isn't for nothing. She can put the skills and traits she built up to use in high school at a place that is happy to have her and has all the resources she needs to succeed. [/quote] OP here: I've told her this- her response is that she hates this determinist attitude since she's worked too hard to throw her hands up and trust in fate. [/quote] Worked too hard? Please. What about the students who have to work to help their families? What about the students who care for siblings or grandparents? The ones who worked just as hard as she did if not more on classwork and extra-curriculars and didn't get in their top choice either? Why does she think her hard work entitles her to her top choice?
