Where was he accepted? That would help some of us...[/quote]
With merit: BU, Lehigh, CWRU, UMD, Ohio St., UMN

The UVA wL is annoying because it’s an in state option but otherwise I don’t see this as a disappointing outcome at all. Those are great schools. The Ivies are long shots for anyone and NEU has become bizarrely popular. [/quote]

Nothing bizarre about it if you actually know the facts and have been there.
Great location, Urban but still good campus, great outcome, quality peers, etc.
Depending on fields of study, but outside of T20/25, not many better alternative choices.

I didn’t mean to suggest it’s not a good school. It certainly is, it’s just shot up in popularity maybe a bit unusually making it a very hard admit. I will say I don’t love what I’ve heard they do with asking kids to go to other campuses for part of their time with the school. But that’s not really relevant to me comment which was just that the PP didn’t get in everywhere, true, but they were admitted to some very solid schools. [/quote]
