[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he should look at The Common Data Set and see all the other enrolled students who have similar stats as him.[/quote]

Beat me to it.  I find it more than a little amusing that the OP and OP's son feel that he's somehow more qualified than the other hardworking students who were also admitted.  So typical.   :roll: [/quote]

Op here - yes we did that and he knows too.  Please don’t be critical like this - I said I know he’s going to a good school and he knows that on some level too.  I’m just saying he is expressing sadness, borderline depressed, and it makes me feel sad.  Not looking to be bashed

I just wanted to say your son feeling like that is OK. He worked hard and needs to feel some gratification even if it is superficial. He is 18 !!! But es, in th elong run, he will shine more than the other kids. In fact perhaps he will shone here more than if he went to a higher ranked place with lots of big fish.[/quote]
