But..... six of her friends got in EA and only two are going. So, 4 spots just pissed into the wind at her HS. And she has to sit it all out.
It just sucks. I can't help but be irate that some kid from Jersey can go there but my daughter can't
The measly $1000 I donated every year will cease.
NP. The bold ticks me off. Not for the same reason as OP, though. I'm ticked at her being pissy about four students, who had options, actually made their own choices. Tough, OP. They applied to more than one school, got into more than one, made a choice. I get it, I understand the whole "each HS gets only so many acceptance slots" craziness. But each applicant and each family has a right to apply where they want and accept at the place they want. Yes, even if that place is not God's precious gift to the world, UVA. (And since this is DCUM and I know the groupthink here: No, no dog in this hunt, as the saying goes.)
