[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's crazy.

I have a Senior and Sophomore and I felt zero stress.  The only stress (more like nervous energy) was waiting for my kid's first decision 12/15.

I didn't script my kids.  Granted- I'm lucky both my sons have always gotten As, done their work and play sports, get involved.  But, I didn't worry.  We didn't hire a private counselor or any of that stuff.

I certainly did not want my kids to feel pressure or stress. I always reminded my oldest last year and this year that it is basically a lottery at a lot of places and most of all: it's not personal. They don't know him. They have certain quotas and agendas they need for their incoming classes.

He got deferred at his top choice and then in at two selective EA schools so the pressure is completely off.  He would be thrilled to go to any of those.

Don't make it stressful.  Get on some anxiety meds or something. It's not normal.[/quote]

Some people are more easy going (your son) and some worry more. Your advice is not helpful, so why offer it. [/quote]
