[quote=Anonymous]When this happened to my dd, it helped that several friends with near perfect applications were also rejected that week. We’re about to get into the highly rejective ED/SCEA releases and there will likely be plenty of company if this happens to your dc. We also focused on researching and getting excited about the EA places she’d already gotten into. A week or two later she moved a school to ed2 and given that we were almost in Jan, it was a quick turnaround to acceptance. She ultimately ended up feeling that the ed2 school was the much better fit while I’m still giving stink eye to the first choice school. In some ways it may be almost as hard on the parents because we don’t like our kids to suffer a gut punch but can’t protect them from this process.[/quote]
