[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is at Wisconsin, which was a safety. He has said a couple of times that if he had known this was where he was going, he would have had a little more fun in high school and wouldn't have killed himself taking such hard classes. In the end, no one understood what happened -- other than the two rounds of ED didn't work out and then he was stuck in the seventh circle of waitlist hell until early July. He got into one or two schools that might be considered better than Wisconsin but there are more opportunities in his major in Madison. I wish the process hadn't sucked so much and I wish he had been more proud of how it turned out but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter and he is happy.[/quote]

Sounds like my kid's experience.  Ended up at Mason saying the same thing as your kid about how they should have blown off more of high school and had more fun.  Graduated last year into a career that was as good or better than friends and former classmates who went to much more prestigious schools.
