[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I say no choices I mean- his only choice is CP. It will certainly get the job done. But he is left feeling like a failure and a loser going to the only school he got into instead of someone who was wanted by multiple schools and got to pick his best fit (which would probably still be CP). It would make his 4 years in CP much better knowing it was a choice to be there. [/quote]

OP, sounds difficult for your DS and hope that he is able to make peace with his option before school starts in the fall. Our DS was somewhat similar, though wishing his 90 was more like his friends' 99s and that he was having to settle while they were dreaming. But even 99 kids can get caught crosswise in the process - a kid in last year's HS grad class was rejected everywhere but one Big 10 - 1580 SAT, 4.0 GPA u/w girl in most rigorous classes with great ECs. This year they have at least two classmates who are 1600 SAT, NMSF, prez scholar nominees, blah blah and have had no success through two rounds of EDs.

It is so hard to know how to roll the dice now.[/quote]
