[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone with high stats kids, who didn't get where you thought they should? Thought mine would land a few T25s, but didn't. She got into NYU, UMD and GWU, which are good choices but still feel a bit bummed.

Anyone experiencing this? How to get over it.[/quote]

1520 kid, 3.9 UW. 
Applied to 12 t40 schools.
Denied at every single one but UVA (OOS). He is bummed. He doesn't want to go to UVA.
He was also accepted at Science Po and St Andrews and is trying to decide between the two.

Why not UVA? My kid is in the same position and while the rejections sucked (they always do) she is now super excited about UVA. We know many top students who did not get in.  I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head.  [/quote]

He was never really interested in UVA. Of the 12 t40 schools he toured that was his least favorite. He only applied because his cousin is a Sr there and convinced him to. He fees like is settling for UVA. He always had Science Po and St Andrews ahead of UVA in his own mind anyway. 
As of now, he is leaning Science Po.[/quote]

My Freshmen in college was the same. Even as a Hokie myself--I had a fun UVA time admitted student weekend when we brought him down. My husband and I really loved it.  My son, on the other hand, did not at all.  Even with multiple good friends going--he still had zero interest in it. From time to time I bring it up---hey any regrets you didn't choose a different school. Nope. The thing is he is very different from my husband and self and if I'm honest I can see why it wasn't a good fit for him. I could see younger sib there though--which after paying $90k would be a very welcome relief.[/quote]
