[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re basically posting a bogus expression of regret to get everyone to tell you what a fantastic school your kid has gotten into and how great s/he must be. B/c if you’re serious, you’re an idiot.[/quote]

OP here. No. No desire for anonymous public acclaim. And I do feel like a bit of an idiot. It is a very good school of course. Hopefully, this is merely buyer's remorse.[/quote]

OP - can you give us an idea of *why* you are feeling buyers remorse? It sounds like its more you than your DC... or are they feeling this way as well? I'm just curious - it's obviously a lottery ticket school, your kid shot their shot and got in. Is it financial woes?[/quote]

OP here. Not financial issues. Honestly, worried that DC may not be up to the Chicago challenge.[/quote]
NP, mom of UChicago third-year here (admitted on ED1).  It is a hell of a hard school and I do think my kid would have continued in pre-med classes if my kid was going to a smaller less intense school.  DC had struggles.  But a couple of things:  DC is proud of their school.  It's saying something to go there, it's saying you had to really work hard.  I can say that people are impressed by it, eyebrows go up, because of the rigor: "hard school!"

OP, if my DC can do it, your DC can do it.  Your kid does not have to be one of the quirky brilliant kids.  Your kid may struggle, but they will impress themselves. [/quote]
