Do I do anything about my daughters competitor for the same school?

<p>I agree with above posters as well, don’t say anything. Situations like this will arise throughout your D’s life…college, work and beyond. Life isn’t fair and colleges accept kids for many different reasons…it isn’t all about test scores and grades. Maybe they need a tuba player or a cheerleader or a wrestler. Having gone through the college admissions process with three children from a VERY competitive high school,(where two had worked their tushes off to get into a specific school and the middle one skated into a great LAC for wrestling–unfair, but true) the process can make us all a little crazy. By the time the third one was applying to schools last September, I had a little meltdown in the GC’s office because the questions were already starting about the GPA’s, test scores, how many colleges,which ones and what’s the first choice, you name it. It can all become too much if you let it. We just didn’t let it–my S kept his nose to the grind for the rest of the semester and worked as hard as he could and focused on what he could control-his behavior and grades. There are great posts above on how to handle the pressure, but the best advice I can give it don’t be consumed by it. It serves NO ONE well, especially your daughter.</p>
