[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is really a troll. DD goes to school with many 2nd generation kids who have been told since birth that they have to go ivy. These kids work so hard, are competitive in ways that can alienate potential friends, have high gpas, and are crushed bc they got into CMU or Rice or JHU and not the ivy their parents wanted. The parents can make it really difficult. [/quote] I agree. If this is true for OP, she should have her kid choose among the Ivy League schools that accepted her. Makes it easy, actually.[/quote] Or figure out what was missing in her application, take a gap year to address that, and then re-apply next year.[/quote] She got into Dartmouth, Brown, I can’t even remember the rest, and you suggest declining that, a gap year, and trying again??? She’s not going to get into Penn or Yale next year either, and then what?[/quote] Just keep doing gap years[/quote]
