[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We’re not stressed at all. He’s in at the in-state option,[/b] which is perfectly good and affordable. My kid knows it’s up to him to work hard and make his own life happen. He’s not dependent being at the “perfect” school. If he gets into a reach, great. But there’s no guarantee his outcomes would be any better compared to State U. Research suggests it doesn’t matter either way - it’s all about the kid and their approach to life. [/quote]

You didn't feel any stress before he got accepted? [/quote]

If you apply EA, you are accepted and get results within a few weeks. There is not enough time between applying and getting the acceptance for any stress to build up. In my DC's case, high achieving student with impeccable stats and ECs, so we did not think he would not be accepted in the in-State public flagship.  It is really great to be in and it takes away all stress.

Ummm. No. My son put his application for EA in September and they don't release results until 12/15. Where are you getting a few weeks?

Many kids did not like any schools with 'rolling admissions'. So there is a wait.  He didn't see the need to apply to a school to get an acceptance when he had zero intention of ever attending.  Luckily, he's never stressed--or at least doesn't show it.

I don't talk about it or impending date.  He has a few RDs left to turn in, but pretty chill about it.  I know I will likely get that 'nervous feeling' on the 15th--just because it's there and the first--but it's not stress.

Some kids really drag their feet on supplementals, etc. I can see why there could be stress in a house. Not all kids have the same personalities either--some are prone to anxiety and are more tense by nature.

I always thought it was such a d*chebag thing to answer a post like "OPs" with some of the sanctimonious responses.  Good lord.  Good luck to everyone![/quote]

The smug posters make me laugh, they're so sanctimonious.  Like your son, my daughter wasn't interested in any of the schools that have rolling admission.  So her EA decisions won't be out until mid-Dec/Jan.  Nerve-wracking![/quote]
