How to quell the disappointment/jealousy/sadness/curiosity when other kids who may or may not seem to have lower stats etc get in to much better schools than your DC?
I know they might have had something "else" in their application that we don't know about, but still...comparison is hard...

I'll let you know when I figure it out LOL.

Love (not) about all the people launching on here about how you are probably wrong that your kid had a stronger creds.  They never rest with it.  A lot of us know how the kids stack up and are seeing this this happen over and over[/b] so I am right there with you.

My only advice at this point is to find the bright point of options - cheaper? (ivy's are expensive, invest the extra money into a spdr fund to launch your kids), closer? has friends there? lower stress ie: big fish in small pond? maybe a good football team/campus life? there is always grad school....[/quote]

Maybe you are right but the point is the colleges didn't accept the kids with the stronger creds (I assume you mean GPA/test scores) and went with someone else that had something else that they thought was more desirable. [/quote]
