[quote=Anonymous]OP, I got into and went to my fourth choice after getting wait listed at THREE ivies and not getting off them. It was fine. My super overachieving sibling always got everything she wanted - HYP for undergrad, Harvard for Med, first choice residency. She married someone similar and they are insufferable in many ways. And they did NOT know how to handle it when their oldest son did not get into his first choice. They panicked and had him apply ED to a school that was way lower ranked than he wanted rather than just calming down and thinking rationally. And they are snobby and entitled about their achievements and don;t have much empathy for others who aren't as high achieving. My point being, being the kid who always gets everything she wants is not always a good thing.[/quote]
