[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my kid has to wait until summer to find out, he’s going to lose his mind. He assumed he would hear shortly after May 3rd if any of the waitlists are going to move.

I can’t imagine they would move at the Ivys or next tier schools anyway. [/quote]

Calm down.  He will be ok even if he has to wait.  It will make him stronger.  DS waited until 7/31 to hear that he was rejected by one of the magnet schools here in the DMV area.  He was just 14 and the news came while we were away on vacation.  He was upset but eventually understood that that news had nothing to do with who he is and what he will become.  As he is deciding where to enroll before the 5/1, he couldn’t be happier w the choices (Hopkins, CMU and Rice) he has during such a tough admission year.  Even that rejection from MIT didn’t phase him for more than the second it took to read the decision release.  He was more relieved than upset.  He knows he will turn out just fine and we couldn’t be prouder.
