Oh! Also, I found a particular non-academic aspect of my kid that they are proud of (leader in a social issue, for my kid). And I explained how a college doesn’t need 500 of those, maybe 10, and there’s a couple in every class. So, maybe the 3 classes still at school have enough, and they didn’t need any more of that particular type of leader. So, it’s better that they go to a school that needs them more. But this conversation definitely took place a couple of days after the initial response and allowing the disappointment feelings to be felt.
