[quote=Anonymous]My son was admitted to Cornell ED and was over the moon excited—as were we. It was his absolute dream, although we tried to mange expectations. Not HYP, but still a coveted admit at his HS. He was VERY low key at school and didn’t bring it up. He was a 2020 HS grad so things started coming apart in that spring. It didn’t seem right to highlight it when so many people were struggling. He didn’t want anyone to feel bad as his friends were rejected from their first choices. People knew at school because he checked his decision when he was with a few of his friends (at their prodding). I did not post on Facebook (not really my thing anyways). And I did not initiate the college discussion with other parents. We celebrated as a family. I know people are different and some like to shout from the treetops about their kids. That is fine, but we are just low key. [/quote]
