[quote=Anonymous]I told my kid 1540 4.0 great ECs kid that I'd pay for any application but that he had to be fully prepared for the rejections. Rejections always sting even if you brace for them. It's a lot of work (the application and the years of effort) to get a curt no, but my feeling is disappointments build character and no risk, no reward (two cliches for you!). My kid really wanted more of a challenge and more of an intellectual atmosphere than high school. Anyway, the process is brutal for the ambitious kids but I may not sorry he went through it and neither is he. He got into several reaches (applied to 15), not his first choices but still excellent schools. Every single school, from his one safety to his handful of targets to his reaches were thoroughly researched and true options. If he hadn't applied to such a range of reaches, he wouldn't be where he is today. Like I said, it wasn't one of his top choices but he is very happy there.[/quote]
