<p>@pianogeek, Oh, those two instances were just surprises for us, one on each side of the ledger. </p>
<p>One was rejected by his first choice, and he was a kid who I expected to get in. That said, it was an incredibly selective school, and he got into a first-rate school that was his second choice.</p>
<p>The other one was accepted at a school I didn’t think she had much of a shot at, and I think that she knew it wouldn’t be a good fit, because she will be attending a school that technically was a lower rank but that was a much better fit.</p>
<p>I’m not usually a Pollyanna, but I think just about everyone I know will be attending a school that is appropriate and at which they’ll thrive.</p>
