[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her mope and just[b] say she'll end up at the school she's meant to be.[/b]  Her hard work in high school isn't for nothing. She can put the skills and traits she built up to use in high school at a place that is happy to have her and has all the resources she needs to succeed. [/quote]

OP here: I've told her this- her response is that she hates this determinist attitude since she's worked too hard to throw her hands up and trust in fate. [/quote]

I would tell her she doesn’t deserve anything in this life. Lots of people work very hard and are underpaid, work under horrible conditions, and are fired in a discriminatory manner. Good, hardworking people get shut out of universities, networks, promotions, etc. But they toil away.

She should have only applied to colleges that she was happy to attend. If she couldn’t find one that was a “safety,” that’s on her. It sounds harsh, but there’s no time like the present to learn this. There are happy, satisfied students at every single college in America. Will she be one of them? [/quote]
