[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hope that you are not encouraging unrealistic expectations in your kid. My kid was waitlisted (not at a T20). She got into that school eventually, after she had accepted another offer (by necessity, the deadline had passed). She had not attended Accepted Students Day at the school that initially waitlisted her, so did not feel like a part of their community. That, added with some resentment of their treatment of her (vs the warm welcome and merit aid she had received at the second choice school), caused her to decline the offer from the higher ranked school that initially put her in their waitlist. [/quote] I think it feeds too much into the universities’ narcissism. If a school isn’t deliriously happy to have your great kid, it doesn’t deserve to have your kid. [/quote]
