[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved going through the process with my B+ student. Everything was a happy surprise. “Hey, this lesser-known school is pretty great!” “Hey, they want me!” “Hey, that’s a nice merit offer!” Just much more relaxed and fun. Also more thinking about what they want vs. who wanted them. It was really nice. The process for my shooting-for-prestige A student was different. Much more stressful, more rejections, including both ED1 and ED2, far more stress about what peers thought, and also whether or not they were “wanted.” I dunno. In retrospect I don’t really think the angst about higher prestige contributed more than it cost. Looking back it feels like a pretty big waste of energy. [/quote] I agree but then what is the messaging to these kids who want to try? Don't bother? That feels wrong. It's a total waste of energy though.[/quote]
