<p>For your son, it was a safety - for others it’s a dream school. In a little while it may be his dream school as well. </p>
<p>We can sit here all day and tell people what a tough admissions “market” it is these days… but I still feel a little bitter toward the school that waitlisted my son last year! Like “who do they think they are?” This despite him being absolutely in love with the college he is attending (or he was in love with it, until the recent room pick lottery. But he’ll get over that.)</p>
