[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The disappointment issue is a real problem for some personalities. My DD will hear from the school she has wanted to go to for years (that is a very likely/target school) on the same day as a long reach that she doesn’t care much about. Getting rejected or deferred from the reach is totally going to take away the joy from getting into the school she actually really likes. Kind of wishing she had’t applied to the reach…plus its two supplementals took up a lot of her time. [/quote] I hear you. I actually didn't think my kid would be as disappointed as he was in the rejections because he got into a lot more schools than we predicted including an Ivy. But, especially if the rejection comes hand-in-hand with the good news, I don't consider it a bad experience. They have to learn to deal with disappointments and a little harsh reality. All things considered, bad news on top of good is not such a big deal. And they definitely get over it.[/quote]
