[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very few in this thread are familiar with the old saying “don’t count the chickens before they hatch.” Come back in April, op.[/quote] OP here with an update for other chill parents - DD was accepted to her top choice with $15K scholarship and is THRILLED. This was an EA app at a school with rolling admissions so she just found out 2 days ago. She has 9 more apps in but to her, they’re now just a bonus if she gets in (there is one school she’d probably choose over this acceptance if she got in, but with an acceptance rate of <15% she knows it really isn’t an option). Chill parents, continue to not stress! We got this![/quote] And there it is....the point of this thread- so Chill OP can brag and lord it over the non-chill lesser parents. My kid is are not applying to any places that are rolling. They have worked hard and their college list reflects that. We hope for merit aid in the regular round. Do you honestly think you are doing a great job parenting just bc encouraged your child to go for a rolling easy admit? I'm genuinely happy for your child if they are happy about this option- that's great. But making other parents feel like they are doing something wrong if they worry is ALL OVER your tone in ALL of your posts. It's really not chill or cool. And you completely ignore the fact that CHILL or not, for some families is does not work out. In the end unfortunately some people DON'T "have this."[/quote]
