Karabu:

I wish we didn’t learn all these lessons with so much anguish and disappointment (my firstborn is thriving in our flagship uni and applying to grad school one year early), but ultimately I’m so grateful to be smarter and more realistic now.

Agreed. I am sad that my oldest had to go through this but also grateful we can use this experience to help my youngest. We are very blessed that through it all my kid was accepted to a “top” school though in retrospect, at least for us, it wasnt worth the emotional stress she had to deal with all these years.
