[quote=Anonymous]This can happen to any kid at any level. My DD was in tears when she didn't get into her dream ivy or any of her top 4 reaches - it has nothing to do with how hard they worked. Disappointment is universal. HOWEVER - after getting excited about the school, and then less excited over the summer when registration wasn't perfect, and then excited at move in, my daughter has had 2 fabulous years and has said she can't imagine herself anywhere else. Some of her friends who did get into their dream schools had tough first semesters. I think those can be the cases where the kids expect everything is roses and perfect and then hit a wall when they realize that reality and dreams are never the same. Get excited with her. Let her be bummed but think about the positives at her choices. And she had choices, which is so important! Congrats to your daughter. She will be FINE!![/quote]
