I think what I’m empathizing with the most is your concern that your kid did all of this work in high school to choose this school? I am currently living this with my oldest, who scored a perfect ACT after studying their butt off. Also taking a super rigorous schedule, getting good grades and giving up other social opportunities, etc. So, I certainly struggled with their final decision. But, as others have said, and what I’ve come to realize after this past year, is that they did what they had to do to make gaining acceptance to their favorite school a high probability. And, really, isn’t that what we want? So really, job well done!!!
