[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- she's definitely excited (and most likely going to commit to the one low reach she has been admitted to).  However, just a little frustrated because like all of us, we want our kids to try their best (even if they get denied).  Also, she is not URM.  I know that it's too late - but because I didn't learn about it until this morning, it's just on top of my mind.  [/quote]

But it's done. Dwelling on it and second guessing won't do anything but cause you and your child heartache. Move on.[/quote]

I will move on - I need today to dwell on it and my kid does not know how I am feeling.  [b]I just noticed today when I went into her portal.[/b]  But of course I am not going to make my kid feel bad about it or anything.[/quote]

HOLD UP! Cannot let this slide by unchecked:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING LOGGING INTO YOUR KID’S COLLEGE PORTALS?

Land the helicopter and get a life. And I say this as a mom of a senior who has been very, very involved in DD’s college application process. Logging into your kid’s portals is not a good look. [/quote]

I logged on to her portal because she gave me the log in and asked me to do so (as she never checks).  It started when I asked her to check her portals for any financial documents that might be missing.  In the end, she didn't want to be bothered with it, so she asked me to take care of it and she said it was fine if I monitor it.  I know that it's a little strange as I thought she would be more eager to find out decisions results herself, but she never does.  Having said that, I never look at her decisions first - but if she does have a decision, I will let her know that it's in her portal. She's great with instagram and snap chat, but terrible with looking at her portal and even her emails.  [/quote]

Come on OP. This still isn’t a good look or practice. Your kid doesn’t want to take 30 seconds to log in and check on something related to HER potential college?  Are you planning to go to school with her to do her laundry and cut her food?  It’s beyond time to step back and make her responsible for these basic tasks. 🤦🏻‍♀️[/quote]

Every kid is different. Leave OP alone.  If she got a bunch of acceptances already, she is doing something right. [/quote]
