[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her dream school just happens to be the same school her sibling attends?  Op, you have likely consciously or unconsciously pushed this school over others where she would be just as happy. Build up her other acceptances, it may actually be preferable for her to make her own path,[/quote]

Why is this so unusual? Her brother graduated years ago. Trust me, she is in love with this school. She has some other great options she loves, but just not as much. She is old enough to make her own choices/decisions.[/quote]

Further demonstrates  the dynamic here is being driven by you in an unhealthy way.

She was not admitted, she may never be.  It’s always a mistake to encourage your kids to fall in love with a school.  Have her write her loci and move on.  If she gets in, it will be a pleasant surprise.[/quote]

Sorry, but you are overreacting here and sound slightly unhinged about something that doesn't impact you. Why would you be so angry at a perfect stranger? Weird.[/quote]
