[quote=Anonymous]OP, my kids used to compete in music all the time. And we learned early on that there are politics among judges and preferences for styles and interpretation. So no matter how well you prepare, the same performance can win accolades from one set of judges and criticism from another. You lose some and you win some, and of course, college acceptance is a much bigger deal. My point is, have thick skin, even though it is very very hard knowing that results are not always fair. I watch my DC who has always been a super star dealing with this situation right now. My DC had a bad junior year and holistic review or not, the results are looking non promising. You have to pick yourself up and tell yourself that college is not the end game of life, and go outshine in the long run, you can do it. Put on your thick skin, congratulate others. Any parents who want to poke you back are not friends. You will learn who really have been in your corner and you have not. [/quote]
