Did not get into Georgetown or Notre Dame. Now what?

[Anonymous]

Last year DS was deferred and ultimately rejected from School of Foreign Service at Georgetown. He was accepted, among other places that were not specialized in international affairs, at W&M joint degree programme with St Andrews (international affairs) as well as George Washington Elliott School (also international affairs). Went with GW, and is happy there.

If your child knows his major or field of study, he should look for slightly less selective colleges/unis that offer the same thing.

I know a kid who was deferred from ND and Georgetown last year and admitted to Williams RD. The process is still just beginning for most kids...

Holy Cross a safety? Hardly.

My kid is at a Jesuit high school where lots of kids go on to these colleges. Holy Cross accepts 100% of the kids who applied. The scattergram is literally filled with green circles. So that's what I based my recommendation on. Villanova is a much harder admit. Of course, I don't know OP's kid's info.

Are you guys talking about Holy Cross in Indiana near Notre Dame or College of the Holy Cross in Mass? The one in Mass is pretty hard to get into these days. The one in Indiana is not.

I just checked my kid's jesuit hs scattergram and for College of the Holy Cross (Mass), with a 3.5+ wgpa, acceptance is almost 100% over the last 5 years. Too many green dots to count and just a couple WL or rejections.

There is still a chance. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where you go as long as it's one of T20 schools.

Says the T20 grad back from when it was way easier to get in who topped out at middle manager or is the equivalent of Andy from the Office

Go away. It's not true and you're not funny.

You are wrong in every possible way.
