[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reads like a troll post. Maybe it isn’t but it definitely reads like one.[/quote]I'm not trolling. I think I really messed up when I see where people get in and we should have applied more broadly.[/quote]But it sounds like you didn't apply not because you thought she wouldn't get in, but because its wasn't a sound financial decision?  That doesn't change with other people getting in.  I think you are just second-guessing yourself.  I think this feeling will pass as people stop talking about where they go in.  The key thing is don't let this attitude show to your daughter!  [/quote]I am not even talking about college now, and tried to keep it to a minimum while we were applying. But I am a mess inside. I feel sort of terrible for dd, who is fine with her choice but not absolutely thrilled. I feel like maybe going for different schools would have made her feel more special and valued.[/quote]It doesn't matter where she goes, it matters how she does there. All the work in HS has been preparing her for *that*, not for one name rather than some other on the eventual sheepskin. That's reality. Embrace it and drop the FOMO foolishness.[/quote]
