[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My selfworth is wrapped up in DC’s success but therapy has helped us get through this trying time. Thoughts and prayers would be very much appreciated.[/quote]

Can you recommend your therapist?   Some mornings I wake up and feel great for about 30 seconds, until despair takes over as I ponder a future where my child could be exiled to a lesser Ivy or even (lowers voice) a CTCL school.  I mean, what would people I know superficially at best say behind my back?  Some days it’s just all too much.  As I curled up in bed sobbing this morning, my kid told me to Get A Life.

Maybe a DCUM CTCL parent support group? [/quote]

True story:  I went to a party right after my oldest had gotten accepted into UVA.  Another parent was talking about her daughter getting accepted into a CTCL school.  I had never heard of the school.  She described it as “warm.”  I could tell she was embarrassed.  I was embarrassed for her.

So awkward. [/quote]

Are you saying UVA is prestigious?? Huh… I mean your story works if your DC was going to Columbia, but UVA??

Yes UVA is prestigious [/quote]

+1 Students with 1500+ SATs get rejected all the time from UVA. Anyone who thinks UVA isn’t prestigious is just a boomer who hasn’t applied to college in 30-40+ years[/quote]
