Was this the right thing to do?
My child is a senior in high school. She's applied at a few universities and has been accepted at all but one-the local university, where she is already a dual credit student. It has been five weeks since she applied.
She is a top twenty student, 3.99 on a 4.0 scale, 29 ACT score. She's in NHS, all honors classes, band, jazz, color guard, officer in a few clubs, volunteers in the community and works a part time job. The school is a DII university-not bad but not outstanding. She wants to attend because it's local so she can live at home and save. It is also one of a few that offer her program.
She's called and they've said she needs to be patient. Her friends applied later and have been accepted. Today I called. Admissions said they switched computer systems and it would be January before we knew. I informed her of the schools she's been accepted to and the scholarships she's been offered. Two offered full rides and one has next Friday as a deadline. Admissions seemed irritated and said they'd review when they felt like it.
Was mentioning the other schools the wrong thing to do?

They have no sway in deciding your daughter’s admission. They’re likely clerical workers, or even students themselves. Even if you reached the person who does the actual admissions, they probably just ignored what you said, honestly.
Also, pro-tip: 99% of their annoyance was probably because you called instead of your daughter. They’re limited on what information they can give, and parents calling makes them cranky.
I used to work at a school. It’s best if your daughter calls from now on. Have her make an appointment to discuss her concerns.
No hostility or reprimanding intended. This is only my honest opinion.
