[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's easy to second-guess ourselves as parents. I do it literally every day. We don't get a re-do, ever. And it's ok to vent about this here.

Your D will be fine. Personally, I think you did the right thing in not pushing at the time. This is not a case where she wasn't going to end up with enough options. Sounds like she has plenty. They might not seem optimal, but you said that at least one of them is great.

If she wants, let her dig into Common App and see if the other schools in question are still accepting applications past their deadlines, as many schools do.

But other than that, I agree with what a PP said above that another PP bolded, about encouraging her and telling her you're proud of her, etc. She may feel disappointed in herself that she didn't apply to other schools that were on the table, that's not your fault, and she WILL get over it. The thing to do now - if all her results are back - is to focus on the options in front of her, pick one, and start getting excited about that school, picking classes, dorm preferences, etc.[/quote]
