[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i know people like to only think about themselves but the club you want to string along is likely the club of another kids' dream and you stinging them along prevents them moving along to the kids on the bubble who actually want to be there.  I get it if you have more than one good option and need time to mull it over, but doubt that is everyone's situation.  stop being selfish.[/quote]

Interesting.  So we should rush our decision that we earned so that you possibly have a spot that you did not earn?  And we should rush our decision to think about you?

Are you thinking about us when your kid is playing video games or sleeping in when my kid is training? 🤦‍♂️ [/quote]

DP. Here is a reality you may not be considering. The difference between your kid and the next one on the list may in fact be quite small. The club may have no problem moving on to the next kid. They may not be hanging on your decision the way you apparently think they are. Do not inflate your kid’s importance in this situation.

I work in academia. When a position is advertised, 100 or more very strong applicants send in their materials. From there, smaller pool is selected for phone interviews and then an even smaller pool for in person interviews. By the time you get to that stage all of the candidates are truly outstanding. But only one can get the offer and you have to decide the order in which you will offer if the first choice turns it down. Barring a true superstar applying, the differences that lead to the final ranking are often SO small. It can be an agonizing wait for the second, third, etc candidates while the first candidate drags their feet. And in reality, the university would be happy to have any of them in the position.

Your kid is much more likely to be just a bit better than the next one on the list, not head and shoulders better. Keep your kid humble and don’t let them walk around acting like they’re the top draft pick. [/quote]
