[quote=Anonymous]Enjoy the process? Absolutely not!!! The amount of work and stress was not healthy, but I do think the process definitely makes a kid more resilient, more self aware and grounded in reality. Thankfully (and luckily), my kid had a great outcome. From my perspective, it's far easier for kids/families who don't care much about the particular school outcome or for those who are super connected with lots of support and resources. For my kid it was a total grind but they are now feeling happy that their work and effort was recognized and worth the sacrifices they made. I (parent) personally enjoyed parts of the process like learning about schools and opportunities and I loved the school visits. But I always tried to temper my enthusiasm for schools because I didn't know if they would get accepted or not. Its a hard balance....[/quote]
