[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] When I read these kind of posts or hear things like this from others, I always think the real issue is the realization and regret of the wasted time, effort and money that went into all of it with the expectation of the pay off. The reality becomes the student ends up in pretty much the same place they would have been without all of that. [/quote] I tend to think the problem is that the expected payoff is so narrowly defined (acceptance to a particular set of schools). I know OP isn't ready to hear or accept this yet, so I wasn't going to type it. But, what I see in OP's post is a bright kid who is a hard worker and who has the ability to do well in life, regardless of which college he attends. That's the reward for all this effort, and it's a pretty powerful one, in my opinion.[/quote]
