[quote=Anonymous]OP, hugs. If it helps, there can be a silver lining to rejections and failure in just about anything. Namely, rejection could teach the importance of being ready for the college application process. At least it did in our case, where rejection (to a Big 3 private for middle school) caused my kid to really buckle down, get into CAP, work very hard there, and then get into a "top ivy" (hate that phrase, but you understand what I mean). We really worried the private school rejection would harm DC's motivation and attitude. But in the long-run, rejection had the opposite effect and taught some lessons. Of course, this week is not the time to get all sanctimonious about the value of straight As, because your kid doesn't want to hear it right now. Handle it with a light touch and some time in the future.[/quote]
