[quote=Anonymous]I’m 50. I still remember pretty clearly the sting of getting that skinny envelope from my dream school in 1989. I ended up at a perfectly fine school that when I first went there felt like a bit of a consolation prize. And it first I didn’t like it very much. But a remarkable thing happened as I grew from being a still somewhat immature teenager to a young adult who understood How education works and I came to really value my time at the college I went to. My parents couldn’t do this for me I had to do it myself. And your daughter does sound immature still. That’s not an insult, that’s the reality of being 18. I have an 18-year-old daughter to, they can be dramatic, the whole “I did all that work for nothing” is something so many of them would say at this age. But a few years down the road she’s guaranteed to see things differently or at least you have learned something about herself in this whole process. So just give her the space to learn it.[/quote]
