This is more of a vent than anything, wondering if any parents feel the same...have similar experience...It has been a long time since I attended college and grad school...but I don't remember it being a painful process.
My daughter, is seriously 10 times smarter and harder working than I. She has a 3.85 GPA, 6 AP classes, SAT of 1820, works part time, volunteers, on varsity athletics, her senior year so far did not take the late arrival or early dismiss, instead took full math and science load, including AP calc, got a 4.0 her first half, has literally given herself an ulcer. And has been deferred or rejected by most Universities she has applied ( a couple were 'Ivy League' which no one should waste their money on), but 3 were state schools) except my alma mater. She is crushed, I am baffled. She is going to attend the same University that I attended....but wow, really?
