[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Admit Auburn.  Was a backup.  But now looking better and better.[/quote]

Great! [b]Congrats!![/b][/quote]

Auburn's acceptance rate is 81%. How could someone [i]not [/i]get in?[/quote]

My daughter just got into a school with an acceptance rate of 75% and I'm absolutely over the moon!  She's not a great student, certainly not as great as your children are, but she works hard and she's proud of herself.  I'm sad for your children that you wouldn't be proud of that as well, too bad they didn't get a more understanding parent.[/quote]

Congrats!!  My son has admission to several schools which are between 51-81% acceptance rates.  Like your daughter, not a GREAT student and he is thrilled.  I am thrilled for him and frankly kind of disgusted at some of the rude and dismissive comments here regarding Auburn and other schools that are not "elite" i.e., not "good enough".  At least we will not have to worry about our kids becoming assholes like someone posted on here, and they won't feel overwhelming pressure like the kids of these rude, elitist parents must feel.  Congrats to all the students on their admissions.  I am in awe of these kids getting into schools like Harvard and U of Chicago but also very proud of my more "average" student.  I wish everyone good luck.

+1000 Not every kid WANTS to go to an Ivy, or a SLAC. The degree my kid is interested in is not even offered in the Ivy League schools, though he's gotten initial interest letters from HYP. He's not interested in a liberal arts degree, and is looking for a school that gives more focus to his desired major. Congrats to ALL those kids who are excited to receiving an acceptance letter, whether it is from a selective private, a state school or CC. Just because a school is more or less "selective" than others does not mean it won't be a great fit and provide a wonderful education for a particular child.[/quote]
