[quote=Anonymous]I spent a lot of time getting my kid ready for possible rejection. His top choice was a reach. I told him to go for it, and that he could do well if he got it in. I also told him that they reject 94 qualified candidates for every 6 they take. It's a lottery. It can't hurt to try, though. If you don't get in, it's not because you aren't qualified. It's just because they have way more qualified kids than they can take. And I told him that there are dozens and dozens and dozens of great schools that have all of the criteria that he wants and that they all have very successful alumni. He was rejected by his top choice, but he got into a great safety, and is waiting on the rest of his decisions. Start focusing your kid on other great choices. Don't let him brood. [/quote]
