[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re basically posting a bogus expression of regret to get everyone to tell you what a fantastic school your kid has gotten into and how great s/he must be. B/c if you’re serious, you’re an idiot.[/quote]

OP here. No. No desire for anonymous public acclaim. And I do feel like a bit of an idiot. It is a very good school of course. Hopefully, this is merely buyer's remorse.[/quote]

OP - can you give us an idea of *why* you are feeling buyers remorse? It sounds like its more you than your DC... or are they feeling this way as well? I'm just curious - it's obviously a lottery ticket school, your kid shot their shot and got in. Is it financial woes?[/quote]

OP here. Not financial issues. Honestly, worried that DC may not be up to the Chicago challenge.[/quote]

OP, first of all congrats! The level of rigor, however, does sound like a legitimate concern.  I'd like to think the schools know what they are doing and select kids they think can handle the work.  Your DC is accepted now, so perhaps some summer prep work will make your DC feel more at ease.  Particularly if they have an idea of what courses they will take this fall. Focus on prep for those.

Gee, that sounds fun.[/quote]

The OP's kid is already committed and anxious, which doesn't sound fun. Being prepared can help lessen the anxiety.  [/quote]
