[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I say no choices I mean- his only choice is CP. It will certainly get the job done. But he is left feeling like a failure and a loser going to the only school he got into instead of someone who was wanted by multiple schools and got to pick his best fit (which would probably still be CP). It would make his 4 years in CP much better knowing it was a choice to be there. [/quote]

How many schools can a student attend?  You can’t attend 5 different schools. Not 4. Not 3. Not 2. What is YOUR problem?  You only need 1.

How many great wives do you need - 5,4,3,2?  What the hell is YOUR problem?  If you have only 1 great wife in your lifetime, count your blessings. That is all you need. [/quote]

I disagree. For some kids, having a process for selecting a good fit is part of the growing up process. Learning about yourself and taking charge of your destiny, academically. To further use your sexist analogy- it's not about the wife you pick, it's about the pool of women who would consider marrying you. If you can only get a date with one woman, are you really picking your wife?[/quote]

OP already said the kid’s best fit is CP. it sounds more like OP’ dream wife isn’t enough. OP wants a dream wife at home  - and be to play on the side. [/quote]
