Today was pretty sobering - certainly a feeling of sadness slightly overwhelming the joy over on "the other forum" and at DD's school. There seems to be an element of "crap shoot" about this process, but at least it will be over soon and, although this is a life-changing decision, it's not "make or break" in the long term. The halo effect is strong and intoxicating, but a sense of perspective comes in handy at times like these - may all decisions be for the best!
