[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to out my kid, but the school they see on TV for what they do was a let down.

We could not do college visits due to Covid. Kid also hade to go through the audition/prescreen process. High GPA but applied test optional since there were not so many tests to take.

Kid went to a "Gossip Girls" school and [b]hated it by day 3[/b].  Sucked it up and took a variety of classes. Applied to 2 other schools and landed on one that was cheaper and hadn't accepted them the first time around.

It isn't BLISS but it is better.

I share this because we did ALLLLLLLLLL of the things to get to point A. Point A was not the right stop. There were literally 0 consequences to this choice as Point B has other perks and are now more appreciated. Not happily ever after, but happy enough after some growth and reflection.

Sharing this to offer some perspective to the parents who are anxiously awaiting the GREAT NEWS email. There may be more to the journey and the path may have some curves. [/quote]

So they really gave it a chance![/quote]
