<p>I still get teary when I read these posts. It just vividly brought back last year to me. The night my daughter saw rejections/waitlists in matter of 5 minutes was a moment it was hard to forget. That night she curled up with her head on my lap to fall asleep. She had over 4.0 uw all APs and honors, in all of her school’s most prestigious clubs (had to be selected by faculty and students). She did everything she could to not have any blemish on her record. She asked me if I was disappointed in her. How could I be? I told her not to let the college process define her or validate her high school accomplishments.</p>
<p>As I have posted before, she did get off all of her waitlists and is very happy today at her school. She believes what happened to her was meant to be. In hind sight, she doesn’t think she would have been happy at her original top 2 choices. She is very thankful someone up there was watching out for her. I wish all of you the same happy ending as my daughter.</p>
