[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids grew up in NW DC where every extracurricular  resource is scarce and competition for everything is really tough.

By college app time they had both racked up a long series of rejections: multiple travel sports teams, musical roles, private school applications, etc. etc.

They took college rejections in stride.  [/quote]

Same, and to the other PP, you have no idea, DC is in the performing arts and has been getting painful rejections since elementary school, which may seem small now but we’re emotionally hard at the time.  In HS DC has tried out for the same EC every year since 10th, which was the first year that was possible, and received a very personal rejection every time.  That said, for college, we have focused on the data and the long shots that their reaches were (are for the ones still remaining).  I am thrilled that DC has some solid hard target acceptances and am bracing myself for a sea of rejections overs the next 9 days.  DC seems to be weathering it okay.[/quote]
