[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We learned yesterday that my DS was waitlisted[/b] at a college from which his father and I both graduated. Admissions have become much more competitive over the past 25+ years, but I still thought he would be accepted. I think he would be very happy there but also think they waitlisted him because he was a 'legacy' and it's probably easier than an outright rejection. So I admit it: I hid myself away and cried and cried last night. I really didn't think I'd get so invested in the outcome of this process; after all, he's the one who has to go to college, not me. But he seemed so down; it broke my heart. And I was hoping he'd be close by, but it looks like he'll be 6+ hours away, based on the schools to which he's been accepted. I know this is not a big problem in the grand scheme of things, but it just makes me sad. No questions here, just a vent. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I was disappointed too, but not surprised. We knew it was a stretch ([b]Ivy[/b]), but DC really liked it. As it turned out DC was waitlisted at several colleges so ended up at a bit of a safety and it has been fabulous. [/quote]

Calling BS. The only people who have heard back from the Ivies as of a few days ago who didn't apply early and got likelies/are recruited athletes so they know they're in.[/quote]

Hello reading comprehension. The first poster didn't say Ivy. I'm the second poster and since I reported on how my DCs college experience has gone it obviously was last year. [/quote]
