[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else love this?

My DD received some pretty good merit money from 2 schools but was waitlisted at another that was near the top of her list. The waitlist school required supplemental materials, but when my DD saw that she was like “forget that!  I don’t want to go there that badly!”

I was like this too when I was applying (ages ago), and I’m glad my DD felt that way that on her own, rather than start writing letters of interest and sending supplemental info, and then still have the chance to be rejected. Seems like you’re begging a school to take you, when they don’t seem terribly interested.

No need to take this process personally. School isn't screening the applicants, random people with too much unchallengeable power are. That being said, my kids also never bothered to write letters of continued interest, just moved on to other choices.

However, if a kid is indeed really interested, they should send all the letters and any favorable information they can. That's smart, not pathetic. That being said, do send what you need but mentally move on, if it happens it happens but you should start taking genuine interest in your top acceptance and think forward not backwards.[/quote]
