I saw a tweet from the Common Application this morning that reminded me once again how difficult and how exciting this time of year can be for some students. If they applied early decision or early action, the next few days can be very nerve-wracking as they wait for decisions. So I wanted to remind everyone to give students their space if they need it. If necessary, read my earlier blog post "Let's Stop Talking About College."
But students, you also need to heed the Common App's advice: "Before you view admissions decisions in public, think about how you'll react if the news you get is not the news you hoped for." It's tricky though - if the news is good, you'll want to celebrate (and we hope you will!), but at the same time you need to think about your friends who might not be in such a celebratory mood. It's a hard line to walk.
Good or bad, this is not life or death, and life goes on. We'll keep saying that until you get it.
