[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who are going to be happy and successful are going to be happy and successful at almost any college. Even if there’s something specific he/she is pursuing and they don’t have the program or whatever at the school to which he/she is admitted, the kid on their way to being happy and successful will research and transfer or pick something else. I’m not saying your kid shouldn’t feel disappointed, but that disappointment won’t derail his/her life if the building blocks are okay. [/quote] My kid went to her safety/last choice school. We could not afford the "better" schools that accepted her. She did very well there, and was quite happy. She got into an extremely competitive grad school program, so it didn't hurt her, and in many ways I think it helped her self-confidence to be at the top of her class. Her professors definitely noticed and appreciated her. [/quote]
