Something we also deal with a lot is that, for a lot of these women, not getting into their first choice chapter is the first major disappointment in their lives. I know that sounds sad, but many of these women got all the awards and scholarships in their high schools, got into Dartmouth, and pretty much felt unstoppable.

When my head used to ring after dealing with upset PNMs/parents, I would comfort myself by saying that I was preparing these women for the real world, where they wouldn't always get the job/apartment/promotion they wanted.

We've talked about this alot on GC in other threads, but this is so true.
