[quote=Anonymous]What did DCUM get wrong? The stakes are just not that high. Going to T10 v. T30 v. T50 isn't going to make or break your life. Also, acknowledging what you can control versus what you can't will be helpful. Fretting over what amounts to admission lottery picks isn't healthy for anyone and definitely not worth risking a child's mental health over. If your kid gets in, great! If not, there are myriad other attractive options. Make sure your child can articulate a reason he/she would be excited to go to any school on his or her list, from the easiest to get into to the hardest. What did DCUM get right? Get a rolling admission in hand ASAP. Both of mine were so happy to be able to have their "worst case scenario" known. When you know that if "worse comes to worst" I'm off to Pitt, that's a pretty great thing because Pitt is awesome. [/quote]
