<p>Cur -- Excellent post!</p>
<p>You are in exactly the position we were in last year. Son applied to virutally no Reach schools. There simply was no point. </p>
<p>The good news -- this too shall pass. </p>
<p>Chances are your daughter will end up someplace great, she will make friends, she will get a great education, and she will never look back. That's where my son is at.</p>
<p>And you may even be able to retire someday! :)</p>
