| CLASS OF 2022 EARLY ACTION & EARLY DECISION RESULTS
|
| |
It’s that time of year when colleges release early admissions results. Based on the decisions, some students are thrilled and relieved, while others are disappointed and have a harder time dealing with their emotions. In our Paying For College 101 Facebook group, we’ve had many good discussions about what these results mean and how to talk with children about handling their disappointments. Here are some of the more wiser pieces of advice….
“Dear Moms and Dads, please remember that there is no all or nothing when it comes to college choice. If not the 1st choice and you’ve tried everything…move on and allow your kids to feel okay that they did their best shot. Sometimes, you have to be okay with accepting the place that appreciates you the most. In the end it is much better to be in a place that is appreciative of you being there rather than your son or daughter being the lucky one to get in. Recognize the greatness within, and be in a place that celebrates that!!”
