Precisely, it doesn’t harm one to be hopeful as optimism can be a wonderful thing, but with that said rejection by no means defines worth and if you get rejected the school probably just wasn’t a good fit. Admissions is weird this year so I’d say don’t discount yourself too early and don’t set expectations too high either cause it seems very difficult to predict outcomes this year (makes things more fun I suppose). Stay hopeful and I hope we can all be proud of our efforts when decisions come out even if it ends up being a denial

Quick positive comment - There are kids with 36ACTs , 1600 SATs, loads of EC, etc getting rejected by the truckload from every single top 20 school. Rejection from any of these schools means absolutely nothing and says nothing about your (or your kiddos) worth - especially this year. Some of the most successful people I know went to bottom tier schools; and many of the most successful people in the world either didn’t attend college or dropped out.
All of 
being said, I hope all of you (or your kids) find someplace where they feel comfortable and can thrive. Good luck!!

I see what you are saying but last week the vast majority of people COULD NOT sign up and had access denied.

Great advice!
Did adding the “=decision” actually show a decision? Wow.
No, but it showed a link for registering for an accepted student event – but when that link was clicked on, it came up access denied. Seemed to be the same for all who posted.
Confirmed tomorrow after 5:00 Central Time!
