<p>Goodchoices, sorry you too are in this spot!. I share your sorrow! Don’t give up! Keep your child distracted with community service etc. Make sure your D writes a thoughtful but concise note to DOA indicating how DA remains her #1 choice. Update the DOA with awards, achievements, etc that your D has since that date. Keep your D’s expectations low but encourage her to go back to school with determination to continue that zeal and excellent work! Chances are a few of the faculty will pull for your daughter as well. A little assistance from your school could help as well. Keep up the fight! People do get off the waitlist let’s just hope it is your daughter this time. Good luck and Keep the faith. We are in the same boat. Keep a positive attitude and keep communications lines open. We also have to remember how lucky we are. Pick up the paper today so many stories of sorrow. It is difficult to think about ourselves at a time like this but we are grown ups!.</p>
