[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these posters who claim they would just tell the kid to just shut up & grow a pair might be telling the truth, but I suspect most of these are all tough talk & no action. [/quote]

In my case, it would have been included in the first conversation of the 5th school rejection.  You can be blunt in kind ways at the start. I would have immediately said something along these lines:

Well that's too bad.  But hey, it doesn't really matter because you got your first choice and weren't going to 5th choice anyway.  And you already have your cream on the top with multiple other acceptances that were above this rejected school (meaning 2nd-4th choice if that was true).  Plus, now someone who really wants to go to that (5th) school has an acceptance now. Its nice that they don't have to wait to get off a waitlist spot that you might have created.

Then if it persisted all summer (as it has) - I'd be a bit more heavy handed and note that it was bordering on greedy/ungrateful.  [/quote]
