[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter’s really feeling down right now. She’s been waitlisted or rejected her top-choice schools, and it hurts. She feels angry and like a failure who worked so hard for nothing and is worried her future won’t look the same. She’s been sad, worried, and crying a lot. We’re not sure how to help her through this or what to do next. [/quote]

Which schools was she waitlisted from? Some of them move. Work with your school-based counselor to develop a strategy for the best opportunity and let that school know in no uncertain terms that you will enroll if offered a spot. Hang in there![/quote]
She doesn’t feel very hopeful. She was waitlisted at JHU, Duke, UVA, Harvard, Yale, and UPenn.[/quote]

Wow, being WL at any one of these schools is a sign that your DD was extremely competitive among the applicant pool.  What is at the top of the ones where she was accepted?[/quote]

Cornell
Northwestern
Dartmouth
Umich
Brown
Vanderbilt & more[/quote]

Ok.  Thanks for telling us you are a troll.  [/quote]

I’m not a troll. I posted yesterday  about Vanderbilt. My daughter is so upset, and is having a hard time. She feels very dissatisfied.[/quote]

Where does she actually want to go?  Harvard and Yale are crapshoots no matter how amazing you are.  I don’t see any of her WL schools as being that much of an improvement over the schools she actually got into.  [/quote]

+1 ... This has to be a troll or else this daughter is mentally ill if she has Dartmouth, Cornell, and Brown as options but is devastated about being waitlisted at Penn and JHU.[/quote]
