[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks to the helpful posters. DC is "fine".  He loved it and isn't home crying by any stretch. And has never called it his dream school.  I am prob more upset knowing it checks every box that the others don't.

It just feels like the others are settling and all have negatives. This one doesn't.  And it was a target.

You can't control if kid vibes with a school. [/quote]

Sounds like we have a parent problem here - not a kid problem.  [/quote]

Yes. And, honestly, I understand! My kid is waiting for ED2 next weekend, and it’s a school that I love for them. If they don’t get in, I will be sad; my kid will also be sad, but they have options that they have gotten excited about and are prepared to look forward. My sadness is my problem, not my kid’s, and my job is to make sure my kid knows that I’m also excited about their options.

So, OP, my advice is for you to fix your face, celebrate your kid’s options, and let him enjoy the rest of senior year.[/quote]
