<p>OldinJersey,
I would not want to take away your dream of Princeton, or anyone else's dream for their child. I am just saying, take a look at how that was worded: </p>
<p>"adigal - you'll never, ever take away my dream that DD1 could have gotten into Princeton."</p>
<p>You obviously recognize that it was YOUR dream, and you allowed your daughter to make her own decision. I think many kids are not given that gift by their parents, to be able to make some of these decisions themselves. I am guilty of this, also; I fight this urge daily, when I go and look up some absolute top school that I know, even if my son did happen to get in, would be wrong for him.</p>
