[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I'm sorry this is happening. These kids have worked so hard and it's nerve wracking. College is a huge decision and it can provoke a lot of anxiety. It sounds like your DD is a high achiever.
My DS is fixated on a school (EA) right now too- it's a bit of longshot and I'm concerned that he'll be upset and a little bitter if he doesn't get in. He's worked very hard. We gave all the right messages, cast a wide net, did the right things, but it's human to want something.
Let us know how it works out. [/quote]

yes it is "human to want something" but by age 17 your kid should be able to understand how "unlikely it is to gain admission " to some of these reach schools.  So don't let them be so obsessed with something that is unlikely.  They've done the "hard work" and bought the lottery ticket, but now it's out of your control, and acceptance or rejection does NOT define you---nobody can take away the hard work and learning that happened in HS to get there.
