[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After going through this with 2 kids recently, [b]try to temper expectations[/b]. First DC feel in love with a SLAC and did not get in ED, ended up at an ivy by grace of luck and legacy, and is now happy there- but DC spent quite awhile disappointed by ED result. Second DC was more open minded, and expecting to not be done until RD round. Without the ED pressure, second DC went EA to reach and was pleasantly surprised. We all know the process is random and essentially a lottery, but believing it and letting your kids believe it is another thing, Try to get that message across to your kids going through this (and to yourself as well). [/quote] Excellent advice (try to temper expectations). Make a realistic list that includes reaches, targets, and safety scbools (go for that crazy reach, but dont waste an ED on that school), and don't bother applying to any school you wouldn't actually attend.
