[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry and understand how you are feeling. It is also a cautionary tale. Parents of younger kids, don't experience this as a competition: between other kids and other parents. Don't make it about getting into the highest rank school. If you do, your kid will feel they won or lost. Think of it as finding the best FIT. A place where your kid will thrive and mature into an amazing adult, ready to contribute to the world. It is like a puzzle piece (with every child being unique), not a race to the highest rank. That is why discussion of options should be discouraged, so they don't get sucked into the competitive spiral. I hope that your child is happy next year. Try to remind him why he applied and chose the school he did. (And there are MANY advantages to standing out in the eyes of the faculty, because you are a rock star in that environment. )[/quote]
