@Bunny308 - big hugs. I feel for you and I recommend you take a deep breath and a small step back. This is a roller coaster. Your D will get terrible news and great news and terrible news. You need to be the one to get her through those highs and lows and so you need to sleep - and eat - and maybe do some yoga. Have faith that many applicants have survived this process and most of them went through hell at one point or another. My D applied 2 years ago and got two nice academic acceptances followed by 9 artistic rejections (prescreen or audition) in a row (mid November though mid March). She ended up very happy. I can’t guarantee your D’s outcome but I can tell you that you’ll both be happier if you take the long view as she takes the shorter term one.
Have faith in her talent and drive and know that her first results don’t dictate her final path. More hugs, this is very hard on parents.
