[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you care more than your kid, and you’ve probably been egging them on.  Give it a rest.   The “top 20” ED admit that your kid got is surely good enough for you to hold your head up at cocktail parties. [/quote]

OP here. Hahaha, of course someone on DCUM had to go there and blame the poster (me). [b]I was almost waiting for this[/b]. Be assured if I really had been egging my kid on, DC would have probably applied early to the HYPSM school where I went and where my kid had a double legacy hook.

But so many other responses here were empathetic and helpful, so I appreciated those very much.[/quote]

You weren’t almost waiting for this. It’s the reason you posted.

Your daughter was smart enough to know that HYPSM wasn’t the right fit for her. What changed her mind? Why would she suddenly value prestige over fit when she knows better?

You don’t need to crowdsource this. All that you need to tell her is to trust her gut, because her gut was right. [/quote]
