I want to say thanks to the other parents here.

<p>As many of us are in the mist of waiting for those all important RD - that are starting now with the grand finish on the 31st.</p>

<p>I wanted to thank everyone on these boards- you have helped me to help my daughter get ready for this "hell week". We talk everyday about if a rejection comes that there are lots of kids with the grades, scores and EC's - that would make them a perfect fit - that get turned away. She has gotten accepted at 6 of 10 with two full scholarships ( that she competed for)- and that many high school seniors would dream to go to these schools. </p>

<p>I wouldn't have known half of what I do about the competitiveness of these schools and how many other kids also have great stats and a 35 on their ACT -- and about those kids that just about cured cancer with their home chemistry kit from Toys-r-Us who will get into every school. Thanks for all the tips and tidbits--</p>

<p>Indeed! Thanks to all.</p>

<p>Ditto. CC has been so helpful to me!</p>

<p>I don´t have a kid applying this year. I want to wish all of you best of luck this week. Remember (s)he is still the same great kid whether (s)he got into the dream school or not. </p>

<p>It will be our second time around next year.</p>
