And no sleep was had that night.

Alex - what a wise young man you are! Thank you for sharing your story.

Union is one of my son’s top two choices - we absolutely loved it when we visited. My son is traveling right now and made us promise not to look tomorrow morning - arghhh! So we’ll open the portal tomorrow evening.

I’m very sorry about your rejections. As you say, don’t take it personally but it’s hard too to not and it’s okay to feel bad for a bit. I work for a college and was talking with a prof today who has kids in college. She had some wise words - to choose the college where you’re wanted. My son has also had struggles that most haven’t gone through at such a young age. I think ultimately it’s made him - and I’m sure the same for you - much stronger and resilient. I do believe things happen for a reason although it’s hard to understand that when you’re in the middle of it all.

You sleep well too and I’m hoping for positive decisions for you both! I’ll report in tomorrow evening likely.

Best to you
