<p>Reflection:
My daughter has worked very hard over the past 4 yrs to give herself a shot at US Ivy League. She has endured a tremendous amount of hard work, sacrifice and loneliness. She was one of the lucky ones and received one acceptance at a US Ivy League. It is incredible to think that all this work and sacrifice resulted in only one acceptance. It does not seem fair, yet I know after reading these posts that she was very lucky, since so many cdns got rejected this year. Her scores were nowhere close to being as good as many of the ones posted here. Despite the absolute unpredictability, sheer randomness and heartbreak of the process, we are glad that we did it. My daughter is a better person for having challenged herself to do this. For those who did not achieve their dreams, please believe that you will be better for having gone through this. With many of the accomplishments posted here, there is no doubt that you will be successful as you have already demonstrated the drive and determination required to achieve your dreams. Good Luck.</p>
