Just in case the EA news is bad....

<p>check out this link by FrecklyBeckly, whose fraternal twin got into Harvard last year, while FB, who applied to many of the same schools, had to go to her safety, University of Michigan.</p>

<p>Initially, she was crushed. Now, however, she's happy and is literally a star, and is getting opportunities at Michigan that she wouldn't have gotten this year at her first choice college:</p>

<p>In her case, several doors slammed shut last school year, but a big stage door opened.</p>

<p>Wow! A lead role... that's awesome. Good for her :)</p>

<p>Thanks, Northstarmom, for providing perspective on the news to come soon. </p>
