This is where I think she was shocked that she had been cut by anyone. Many of the PNMs have had very limited experience with rejection of any kind. And this is where as moms, we need to provide support for our dds but NOT take it personal. Remember, they are the ones going through rush, not us." (Had to copy/paste because I still haven't figured out how to take just part of a quote, sorry!)
My PNMdaughter experienced the same. She has had a really good recruitment with full or near full schedule every round (and has always kept her original favorite) but she still had to ask WHY?? DEF and XYG cut her even though they hadn't been on her radar. I don't think it was so much that she loved them, but that they liked others better and why?? I think it's that combination of not having to deal with much rejection and the burning desire to find the place they'll fit in at in college. (I wanted to slap her, too
, but luckily for her it only lasted a second and she was too far away!)
