Dear Neighborhood Therapist,
My daughter worked very hard throughout
high school - and before high school, and
during the summers, and after school and
nights and weekends. College admission
decisions should start rolling in and I am very
nervous for her. She is a good candidate who
worked hard, and she will be devastated if she
doesn’t get into the college she wants. I have
no idea what to say to her if this happens.
– Nervously Waiting, El Segundo
Dear Nervously Waiting,
Let’s say she gets in. She worked hard for
years. She stayed up late, won the science
fair, maybe excelled at a sport she didn’t
like that much, or gave up playing poker
because the college admissions officers are
rumored to favor members of the Chess
Club instead. Now it’s here, Reckoning Day,
where if it turns out she did everything just
right, she will be rewarded with admission
to Prestigious U.
Her life will be set. A deserved culmination
of all her hard work, she will be validated
as an Elite Person. People will look up to
her. She will be able to write her own ticket
to the job and the life she wants. Also, as a
nice bonus, you get an A in parenting.
Except it doesn’t quite work that way, of
course, because life happens. Our culture
praises achievement over almost everything
else, with a college degree serving as a personal
branding device. Why, for example, does the
school that gave us our degree matter more
to strangers than the way we treat the most
vulnerable people we meet? Do we think
this is the way things should be?
I think many of us would note that some
of the finest people we have ever met never
went to college. When we look at the people
who made the most impact on us, do we
think more about their pedigree, or about
the way they treated us or treated others?
Maybe the stakes are not quite as high
as they seem. The decision of a college
admissions team reflects what they thought
about an application and what they wanted
for their class on that given day in that given
year; nothing more or less. If getting into
the college of her choice doesn’t guarantee
her the life she wants, then why should not
getting into the college of her choice preclude
such a life?
The Unabomber went to Harvard.
Will her character change based on the
decision of a college admissions officer? If
they say yes to her, will she automatically
become a more worthy human being? If they
say yes to her, will her responsibilities to
her family, friends and community suddenly
disappear? You know who she is and what
she stands for. Remind her of this ahead of
time. You will know what to say no matter
how it goes.
