[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son just isn't quite strong enough to get into either school. Is the realistic second tier choice Madison or Tech? My son is a junior now. Thanks.[/quote] Not on point, but can I really encourage you not to think in terms of second tier? What you're saying (whether to yourself or to your son) is that he already has failed, or isn't "good enough". The first-tier college is the one which is a right fit for YOUR child in terms of academics, student body, location, price, and other issues that matter. Focusing on the fact that he isn't "good enough" for UVa, makes it seem like wherever he ends up makes him an also ran. Signed, parent of a wonderful child who applied to all those "second tier" schools but ended up very happy.[/quote]
