[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At DC’s private school, all of the girls who applied to W&M have been deferred, and all the boys who applied got in. They are annoyed.

OP, just because there *seems* to be a general trend that it’s a good year for ED doesn’t make it true, and certainly doesn’t make it true in the granular level of a specific school or specific kid. It’s always rough when your kid is deferred and it feels like a lot of their friends were accepted, but there are so many variables involved, from student-specific ones to school-specific ones, that you really have to try to view it as not personal, even though of course it feels intensely personal.

Help your child by allowing them some time and space to feel disappointed and then help them refocus on ED2 or RD apps and moving forward. [/quote]

How on earth do you not only know this but that they’re all “annoyed?”

You really need to step back. [/quote]
Because that’s what my kid told me yesterday, I’m just passing it on. It’s a small private school. The kids talk. [/quote]
