[quote=Anonymous]Your kid is gonna be just fine, OP. Sadly, the most frequent and loudest voices on this board only want to complain about the opportunities available at 50 to 60 total schools, max, and the perceived injustices that frustrate their kids’ abilities to land one of those coveted spots. Hence the gatekeeping of prestige and the railing against anything that looks like holistic review. If you and your kid take a reasonable approach to applications with realistic reaches, targets, and likelies that your kid can see themselves at, things will work out. You have to keep in mind that the popularity of some schools is on the rise and factor (yes, SEC darlings) that in to your process. That said, I firmly believe that if you follow those rules and position fit over prestige, this process needs to be not make you and DC miserable. Every time I see a post asking about kids who didn’t get in “anywhere” my first thought is they have no one to blame but themselves.[/quote]
