<p>I feel similarly- my daughter received an ‘early happy birthday’ email last week from the head of admissions from one of her favorite schools- it said: ‘your essays were lovely- a treat to read’. Sounds great … but I just tried not to react too much- she will most likely have disappointments on M10 and that is fine- but if she is going to fall, I’d rather it not be from up in the clouds…</p>
