[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainly just a venting post so bear with me but this is getting pretty ridiculous with the waitlists after the deferrals.. seems like so many of our kids are getting strung along. I, like many, have a kid hoping to major in CS. CS is his innate gift and he is truly gifted at it but these schools don’t seem to see that. He is accepted somewhere (definitely not top 50) so he is probably heading there but what on Earth is going on with all these deferrals and waitlists??? Who is getting in to these places??  He is a white male, 1580 SAT, UMC, straight A, multiple AP, highest rigor, multiple award winning, dedicated volunteer hours, write ups in magazines, articles in Wired… What else to they want?[/quote]
I hope this is a troll post. Otherwise it is a great travesty. [/quote]

This may be a lot of things, most likely a troll post but some rando UMC kid having to go a non top 50 college is anything but a travesty. [/quote]
Did you look at that kids stats? Here is a snippet - "1580 SAT, UMC, straight A, multiple AP, highest rigor, multiple award winning"

Those are not easy to get. It takes [b]a lot[/b] of commitment and hardwork. I know because I have seen my son go through it for similar stats.[/quote]

A lot of kids have those stats among the top school applicants. It’s just not that unique.[/quote]
