[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, people have used the phrase [b]“blood bath”[/b] to me also.  I wasn’t that worried before but it is easy to fall into a hole of concern when folks talk like that.  I get where you are coming from.

My kid is going through the process now but I know of several kids who ended up at first choice dream school.  My take on last year: no one got shut out (to me, no acceptances would be a blood bath) and every kid ended up at a great school.  [b]One parent who was complaining to me was frustrated because kid was denied top 20 first choice and ended up at Michigan.[/b]  Lots of stories like that. Maybe someone would say those are bad outcomes but ending up at a highly reputable school where the kid will get a stellar education and is happy seems like a fairy tale to me.

Hang in there!  You are not alone. [/quote]

yes! 
the "blood bath" posters last year (I think i read every freaking post) were all "my 4.0/1580/18 AP kid was denied at 14/15 schools!  He was only admitted at Brown". 
Hmm.  Not sure I'd call that a bloodbath.  [/quote]
