[quote=Anonymous]It is not sad to me, because as 09:31 points out, there needs to be some sort of evaluative process--and, again, there are LOTS of amazing colleges that have greater than 9% admissions rates! I pointed out that my son got a full ride to Maryland but got deferred/rejected by Caltech...I just can't feel sorry for someone who doesn't get into any school of his/her choice, because it's too much of an overall crapshoot & there are wonderful alternatives. Of course I am sad for students who end up on a psych's couch as a result of stress, but hopefully parents are keeping their kids' expectations in check in re: top/selective colleges. [/quote]
