Is it really that hard to get in?

Unfortunately, my daughter and I share a “name” here on College Confidential. Tonight I finally had a minute and thought I’d poke around the web site a little. I am really quite surprised at the comments going back and forth on this thread. Some of you are so wise, wise beyond your years. Your advice is thoughtful, practical and supportive, for the most part. My daughter was deferred by UChicago, and is very disappointed, as I’m sure you have gathered. Still, spending time on this site seems to have exacerbated her already confused and hurt feelings, keeping her from “bouncing back” as I know she will. Underneath it all, I think she was looking for some support. So, she won’t be back, at least not with my web site name! Thanks for all your help, wise young folks. I know you will go far and do great things with your lives, regardless of what college you attend. You will take your wise minds and compassionate hearts wherever you go. Any college will be lucky to have you!
