I know you mean well but you don’t know that is true at all.  Saying things like “everything always works out for the best” just isn’t true.

OP, my kid has also had a rough time. I am sorry your daughter is, too.[/quote]

Here's the thing though: It will be alright. This is not a tragedy. Your child will go to college and it will be fine. And if it's not, she can transfer. And that's fine, too.

The best way to help your child is to know that the above is true. Let your kid wallow for a bit if they need to. It's okay to be disappointed. Don't get sucked into dreams of waitlists working out. It is highly likely that they won't. Help your kid make a choice among their acceptances. Be happy about that choice.

It will be okay.

--mom of a kid who is not happy at the school they ended up at, so will be transferring. And it's really okay.[/quote]

So your kid didn't end up in a place that was right for them. PP's point proven. Don't say feel good stuff that you can't possibly know will be true.[/quote]

And that’s why she says it will all be ok. [/quote]
