| I believe in fate. Sometimes, you're not meant to go to a certain place or region. The child can petition the school to reconsider his application. The admissions officers have reviewed thousands of freshman applications. If the family does not have extenuating circumstances or special awards to present to the admissions office, it is very rare for the school to overturn their decisions. The child may feel sad right now, but wherever they choose to matriculate, they may actually enjoy their new school and never regret their decision. If they still want to go to their dream school, try harder and apply as a transfer next year. |
