[quote=Anonymous]My DD got rejected from her dream school summer before senior year during the athletic recruiting process. It was completely unexpected and a very long, sad summer. She was able to commit to a very high academic D1 school that had told her she had a spot if she wanted earlier in her junior year. But she was unhappy about that most of her senior year, honestly. On the outside, she faked it to the world, announcing her commitment and wearing the gear. But when the first classmate got into her dream school at ED, that was rough. Then another at RD. To be honest, she just never really got over it. She's crushing it her first year at this second-choice school, academically and athletically, has made great friends and is having a lot of fun. But, she is throwing in an application to transfer to the dream school for the heck of it. I think whether she gets in or not, she'll stay put and this can finally put it behind her. But OP, despite everybody here saying you just get excited and move on, it's just not always the case. I am very proud of my DD for doing her best to fake the enthusiasm, but for those who truly fall in love with a place, especially one that seems to be in reach and the right fit in every way, it's tough. Sorry I don't have advice, just sharing our experience.[/quote]
