Whoa, whoa, whoa just clam the heck down people, Prepswimmom has been a great supporter, just leave her alone already or maybe Bob the crazy mailman will be on you. We all know that it hurts like hell when your kid works so hard and gets turned away. These are great lessons for our kids. Sometimes life is not fair, sometimes you don't get what you want, sometimes things are just plain f'd up, they need to learn to deal and so do we. College admissions do not make sense and it seems the SA's are even more of a mystery. My kid got rejected from his two top choices and ALL, yes all, of his "safety" schools, yet his plan "B" schools all accepted him. His counselor, his teachers, all who know him are shocked that every single state school he applied to rejected him... Okay, it happened. Now he moves on. As I always tell my kids, the school you decide to go to is not as important as other important life choice; who you marry & how you live your life, are much more important to your happiness and success. A student makes what they will out of whatever school they go to. You can choose to succeed anywhere.
NOW PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME YOU GOT A BFE!!!! Margaritas anyone?
