[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that this is an ED issue. Yes, she would be very bummed RD, but she'd have other schools sending news simultaneously. She'd be able to pivot much more quickly. ED rejections make kids wallow in the disappointment for months. [/quote] If your kid is not capable of dealing with "college admissions disappointments" that is on you as a parent. It's your job to prepare the for the realities (that a reach of 5% acceptance rates means that 95% are rejected, and 90% of those rejected are "highly qualified"). Just like everything else in life, it's your job to help them be able to process rejection and "not wallow in the disappointment" and focus on all the other choices. If you build a good list, your kid will not be 100% disappointed. [/quote]
