My son has accepted and is very happy with his 2nd choice school. He's beginning to get excited about it, but not as much as I'd expect. He would have been happy at the other schools that admitted him, too. However, he's still on the wait list for his #1 dream school. If an offer of admission comes through, I'm pretty sure he'll take it.

I'm just wondering if others are going through the same thing. I also wonder if this could mean he won't have a high enough level of enthusiasm to succeed.
