[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have been reading some posts recently.  Lots of complains about "American college admissions rat race".  Reading posts here makes it clear that top schools are unattainable to most kids.

In March, there will be disappointment, a lot of disappointment.  One after another.  I think DC will be okay with that.  I may not be.  I am mentally preping myself not to expect much from March.  One single reach hit would be good news (DC got in two targets EA).  Just one!  And that would not be any different from hitting 5 reaches in a row.  DC is just attending one.

Fingers crossed for your DC. If I were you though, I’d prepare myself for DC attending a target. College admissions are not really about the students, are they? They are about the colleges and their institutional priorities. If your kid doesn’t get in, that doesn’t mean anything other than they were not picked by a college to fulfill that priority. Your DC can still go on to be a success. In fact that might be something I’d look into — people who attended normal schools but are really successful. It’s tough to watch our kids go through this process and I firmly believe they are more resilient than us mommas. [/quote]
