<p>Yes, hmom, reality is good. You've said it, he's heard it, and at some point you need to let go and move on. I'm sure you have your own life, and I don't think it's necessary for you to be repeatedly nagging another's child with your beliefs.</p>

<p>You're walking a very fine line... the way some adults engage in bickering with kids on here is pretty surprising.</p>

<p>Personally, I think the recent (yet unavoidable) change in FA is unfortunate--of course it is, and it is also understood and appreciated that it wasn't up to Exeter.</p>

<p>This is comical -- tragically comical. A coward you say? I suggest taking a deep breath and sliding away from the keyboard for a few minutes. After visiting this site for the first time 3 days ago, the recent posts are the first that I've seen that have been laced with an acidic, immature tone. I am all for reality checks, I am all for setting the record straight, one can express their opinion and the facts with conviction, but as for the cold splash of reality you want to impart on some annonymous 14 year old -- do it in a mature, responsible way or leave it to his family.</p>

<p>I'm done being the "police", shoot whatever parting barb you choose, but this type of acerbic dialogue has no place on this site.</p>

<p>Exactly dar! I second all of what you said... touch</p>

<p>I hadn't realized you're a kid mmoynan, never mind, I thought your response was from an adult.</p>

<p>dar, you have 2 total posts. Yes, coward applies.</p>

25

<p>hmom5, you have 3,468 posts. And, uh, what does coward apply to? Just curious.</p>

<p>strangely enough this makes me feel a lot better about getting waitlisted at exeter. i needed a lot of FA.</p>

27

<p>Ya I was happy I was waitlisted there. I had no intention of going, but atleast I know its a safe assumption to say that if I was full pay I would have gotten in. Kemek did your say</p>

<p>"After long and careful consideration, the Admissions Committee has decided to place your name on the Waiting List for the Fall of 2009. You are a talented student whom the Committee admires." Was the admired part generic?</p>

28

<p>Yeah, mmoynan took a screenshot of the letter and posted it as a picture on fb</p>

<p>Oh ok, whens andover coming in for you Tom</p>
