[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s really no need to assign blame in this situation. Mistakes happen and this one is really not a big deal.[/quote] It's a huge deal and caused a ton of stress for my DD as she also got the email that her admission was on hold. It's the middle of July. Admissions are closed. Had they simply retracted her offer she would up a creek without a paddle. She had already done her housing and established contact with her roommate. This isn't a whoopsie daisy.[/quote] If she can’t handle an email asking her to correct her mistake, maybe you should be gently guiding her down a different path. Stuff like this happens everyday in the real world.[/quote] This is the thing— instead of worrying about who is to blame you should use it as a teaching moment that sometimes people (including her) will make mistakes and what matters is how you deal with them (and maybe what systems you have to address the fact that mistakes will happen)[/quote]
