[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand all of the disappointment either.  Cast a wide net.  It's relatively random at the top, so your kid might be (pleasantly) surprised by the results.  With 10-20 schools kids are applying to, most will find a college home they will be happy.[/quote]

Ultimately, yes.  Why is it so hard for people on this board to understand that a lot of teenagers have dreamed of going to a particular school and thought they had a chance?  How out of touch are you with the typical DMV high school student? [/quote]

You might have tempered their disappointment now if you had been clued in and steered them all along (while making their list/visiting colleges) away from the dream school narrative. [/quote]

We did. It still hurts and it’s still disappointing. What a bunch of sociopaths here. [/quote]

And people here are generally very sympathetic to hurt and disappointed kids. It’s the denigrating “other” who are “less deserving” that’s an issue. [/quote]
