[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter didn't get into her ED school.  She knew it was a longshot and other than a deep sigh when she got the rejection letter, she just shrugged and moved on with her life.  The hysteria is not normal.[/quote]
yes I dont' get parents who say---let them wallow and mope around for days/weeks.  Our DD didn't get into her ED1---got "deferred" from the T10 school.  We let her sit in her room and mope for 24 hours, then had discussions about writing a LOCI, focusing on the few RD applications to submit (most were submitted back in early Nov).  And we had a discussion about ED2 do you want to do that for your 2nd choice (where she is attending ultimately), but decided to wait to hear in RD from the ED1 school (ultimate rejection). 
It's not healthy to let rejection overtake you.  My kid was used to rejection as a competitive dancer (good dancer, but slightly below the level of the top kids and her best friends).  She knew how to take rejection and not let it overcome you.  That is why it's good for your kids to learn to deal with rejections in life from toddlerhood onwards.  If you overprotect your kids, they don't learn
