[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child applied ED to a great school-top 10. Had the grades for an Ivy but, given the low acceptance rates, child decided to aim slightly lower. My belief is that ED is for your dream school and I encouraged child to apply to the ivy but child said they’d rather go for a really good school with a (albeit slightly) higher chance of getting in. They’re in now. I’m happy for them but I can’t rid myself of the disappointment though I haven’t shown it. 
I know it’s not about me, child is happy with their choice, they will be fine. 
Slap me out of this funk. If anyone can do it, DCUM can. It’s open season on the OP!

Goodness--be grateful. There is no difference in quality among the top ten and tons of amazing kids don't get in to any of them....[/quote]

+1 - This is a really nice post.  I'd probably say the same, but add, you need to get yourself busy and stop worrying about your kid.  Sounds like you've raised him/her right.[/quote]
