After I posted the first message on this thread, I watched as the number of views on this reached well over 150 without any bites. It looked like it was going to be the ugly stepsister topic that we all would rather avoid.

So I really want to commend those of you who are brave enough to share your disappointments. There's no question that no one wants to get those unwanted letters, but the reality is that most everyone will be a part of this club by the end. I'm not even the applicant, but I am pretty darn emotionally-invested in my daughter's dreams, just like so many of you! I guess that I hope there's somewhere that I can come and express my disappointments as well as a place for the great news we all hope for!

A big hats off to EVERYONE for WHATEVER your news is -- you are all to be commended for pursuing something that's certainly fabulous, but oh-so-challenging at the same time. Thank you for sharing this roller-coaster ride with us!
