[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reads like a troll post. Maybe it isn’t but it definitely reads like one.[/quote]

I'm not trolling. I think I really messed up when I see where people get in and we should have applied more broadly.[/quote]

But it sounds like you didn't apply not because you thought she wouldn't get in, but because its wasn't a sound financial decision?  That doesn't change with other people getting in.  I think you are just second-guessing yourself.  I think this feeling will pass as people stop talking about where they go in.  The key thing is don't let this attitude show to your daughter!

I am not even talking about college now, and tried to keep it to a minimum while we were applying. But I am a mess inside. I feel sort of terrible for dd, who is fine with her choice but not absolutely thrilled. I feel like maybe going for different schools [b]would have made her feel more special and valued.[/b][/quote]

OP, your daughter should not be relying on college admissions to feel "more special and valued", and neither should you. Real meaning in life comes from something deeper. The goal is for your kid to find the value in whatever she is doing.[/quote]
