[quote=Anonymous]College rejection is no doubt tough on kids AND parents (especially those who have truly loved and invested in raising their children well). Considering the incredibly low acceptance rates for many competitive colleges, most kids who apply to these WILL experience rejection. By May of senior year, if families have planned well and applied to a few good safeties, kids are usually comfortable with where they are going and begin envisioning all of the fun they will have... There are ways to salvage joy if we celebrate the successes and minimize the disappointments wrt college admissions. Not always easy. Here's a good quick read to make any kid (and parent) feel better about the whole annoying thing! I like the pugs. https://raisingamericans.substack.com/p/deferred-or-rejected-by-a-dream-school[/quote]
