[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear great things about UMD.  Also that friends' kids from other schools (U of Richmond esp) are up visiting their UMD friends very very frequently - College Park is considered more fun!
It's a great education.  All good[/quote]

I went to UMD. Loved it.  Son would choose UGA over it. It's more that wisconsin was perfect fit. [/quote]

No school is perfect. I grew up in Madison and did grad school in Athens. It is totally possible to love both towns with your whole heart, and still to see that both schools have plenty of flaws.

Rejection always hurts. Time to process that and learn to love the one you’re with. If it were me I’d get offline, go for a run, and pull myself together so I could model that for DS. [/quote]

My son is more chill than me. I'm not sitting around crying but just sad and blah.  Athens was great-  we visited.  It's super cute. Just see him more at wisconsin. [/quote]

So you need to get over it.

Send LOCI and do what you can to show WI it's still your top choice, but then realize it's not likely to happen and get excited about UGA (or his best acceptance )

Follow his lead and don't stress him over it---be the damn adult[/quote]

I think people here are thinking this kid was added to a waitlist. Or don’t understand what regular decision even means.   WI is very likely to happen if he has almost good-enough-for-MI stats. [/quote]

Michigan defers nearly everyine , very few denials at EA stage.[/quote]

we get it.  but quote says unlike to get into WI and that's BS.  Agree MI is a longer shot.[/quote]
