[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the love of God, the first child is not a disappointment. I know a younger sibling this happened to at an Ivy and the first child literally won a departmental award during the year prior to the second one applying. Like "best math student at the university" given by the math dept faculty. Younger kid had a 4.0/1550. Denied. Sometimes it's just random and it sucks. [/quote] Ha! OP here so did my firstborn. A departmental “best” award, paid fellowship, etc. Very similar. It’s as if it’s not a plus or even a neutral- but actually seen as a negative to have a family connection. I’m done. Moving on. Thanks for letting me vent, and special thanks to the poster that shared a similar story and transfer details. The negative trolls don’t bother me one bit. [/quote]
