[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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!

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]

So where did your kid end up that’s so much worse than a not-that-impressive Tulane that you think it would have been worth it to forgo helping them with grad school or housing in the future?[/quote]

I get how you feel, but Tulane is not really worth it [/quote]

I can't think of a public PWI in Virginia where I'd feel broken up over not getting into Tulane and having to go to it. Maybe ODU, Radford or Longwood? Even then, Tulane is really the bottom of the barrel when it comes to education for expensive privates. I'd have to go pretty far down the public list before I felt like I was getting short changed.[/quote]
