[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from a friend today that this happened to her son. Does this happen more often than we think? I remember some stories from last year, but I didn't come across any examples until today. Now her son thinks he won't get in anywhere.[/quote] Can you tell us the safety school? If you do, we can give you other schools of similar quality that he has a chance of getting into that he may not have considered before. I hate that he thinks he won't get in anywhere now... that's an awful feeling for a teenager. 🥺[/quote] Here's the thing - I know the school, but I don't know his stats (and didn't want to question her about it since its not my business and she was obviously upset). My friend just described the school as a safety for her son. So I don't know if the school was truly a safety. Still, I imagine that parents around here do some basic level of research to figure out safeties and targets (i.e. common data set); and this friend is someone who would be on top of those things. The school is Clemson. [/quote] So Clemson admission rate was 49.5% last year, so it's "very close to being a safety" for some kids, but then your stats must be 75%+. IMO, something right at 49.5%, an excellent public school (so more kids want it cause it's affordable), I wouldn't consider that a true safety. I'd make it a target. Then again, major also matters [/quote]
