[quote=Anonymous]Helped DC get organized and churned through them all (about 8 EA and RD that were submitted, including one early acceptance that was declined) the weekend after ED acceptance, like once we were sure the deposit cleared and the portal showed it was received. Took the oppty to discuss how this was respectful to peers, schools and the process. Thought out loud about who might get the scholarship offer that DC was turning down on the RD offer, and took extra care to be sure the person noted on the scholarship offer letter was notified that DC declined (to try to help get the funds to another student). Thought out loud about who from DC’s school might get a coveted slot at the selective EA schools where DC applied. Maybe a friend with a similar profile, where admissions may choose just one of them? Maybe that really hardworking girl in bio class who was really hoping for this as her dream school, but couldn’t easily ED for financial reasons? Helped with the process, guiding in what to do where there wasn’t an easy withdraw app button to click. Who might you email? What would you say and how? Next step was letting those who helped know the outcome - writing thoughtful emails to recommenders and guidance counselor. Some guidance was needed. This is a parenting opportunity. Step up.
