[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough.  I’m very sorry. My son was a very average kid, academically.  It made it easier in a way.  Applied to 12 schools, 10 were state flagships.  He got into 10/12 schools and felt really good about himself for the first time in a long time (with respect to school).  He attended a large state flagship and is doing very well in college. 
My daughter is more of a 90 percentile kid. We will be steering her to similar schools as her brother, however, for a multitude of reasons including taking the damn pressure off a bit that is so woven into living in this area. [/quote]

As I’m sure I’ll be asked, his schools:

Admitted (29 ACT and 3.4 GPA) 
U of SC 
Penn State (summer program) 
Clemson (summer program) 
Alabama 
Auburn 
Indiana 
Ole Miss 
UC Boulder 
Pitt 
TCU

Not admitted:  Ohio State and U of GA [/quote

Great list of schools! Is he private or public HS?[/quote]

Private.  But not sure that mattered?

It does. My private school child (3.8 UW) has been deferred/waitlisted at a few of the same schools your child was accepted and Public school friend with equal stats admitted. Both were test optional. Mine has more ECs, leadership and volunteer. It will all work out…. I think but very confused but the process.
