The letter highlights the emotional struggles faced by a mother of twin daughters, one of whom has been accepted to the University of Notre Dame, while the other has not. The mother seeks guidance on how to support both daughters through this time of transition. The advice underscores the importance of exploring additional options for the daughter who did not get accepted, encouraging independence, and focusing on building a future beyond just Notre Dame. Emphasizing positive reinforcement and open communication could help ease family tensions and foster understanding between the twins.
Colleges are so competitive that it is wise to cast a wide net so that you have choices. If she has any other acceptance offers, encourage her to focus on those.
Not going to the same school may turn out to be exactly what they need. Meanwhile, encourage your daughter to think about her future and plot out a plan.
This may be a pivotal moment for both of them to gain some independence from each other.
The daughter who got in is trying not to make a big deal out of it, but she's obviously excited and proud.
