<p>Jeff</a> Brenzel: What to Do When Colleges ACCEPT You</p>
<p>Thanks for posting this very good article, Gourmetmom.</p>
<p>Very good advice. I think looking at colleges again and the money involved is always a good idea. Some trips were a year ago and one visit, one tour, doesn’t give you a good idea of the fit.</p>
<p>I especially like these points:</p>
<p>“But there is one and only one good answer to any rejection letter you receive, dream school or not: “Your loss, baby.” Then move on.”</p>
<p>“Recognize how profoundly fortunate you are to live in this country and to be presented with opportunities that most of your peers around the world would give virtually anything to experience.”</p>
<p>“To the extent humanly possible, wipe out every assumption you have made up to this point about these schools. Let there be no reaches, good fits or safeties. Throw away all the ranking lists. Stop obsessing over selectivity or prestige.”</p>
<p>CC needs a “like” button!</p>
<p>Thanks for posting.</p>
<p>There is some sound advice in there. I wonder how many college seniors will get the chance to read it with an open mind.</p>
