[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD got into her dream school. She moves in soon, and she's quite happy. Problem is, she can't seem to shake the fact she was rejected from her 5th choice school. I am certain this is because that school was the most selective of the bunch by far. Anything I can say to her to help her shake that off? Or will school starting help?[/quote] I told my kids that not every school would take them. You can be a great applicant, but there aren't enough spots for every deserving applicant at every school. After you qualify for admission, you are just hoping to get lucky. She didn't get lucky at that school. It's just luck. Lots of things in life are like that. Success is a combination of hard work and talent and luck. You can control the first two, but you can't control luck. If someone turns you down, just shake it off and keep going. The best way to get lucky is to keep trying. [/quote]
