I agree with jym626. Understand and relate to your kids, empathize with them, but it will pass and although your child may never forget, it won’t sting as much once they are at the school they chose. Same thing happened to me…rejected from UCLA and Brown. Both brothers graduated from Brown, thought I’d never live it down. Still remember being rejected, I was upset for a few weeks, but it passed, and now 35 years later, attending no name UCSD was the best experience for me. This might not be the same for your child, but I’m sure they will be fine in a few months and enjoying the school they did decide to attend!
