[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it did, it would be due to an unrealistic admissions strategy.[/quote] Yes- Our Public school tells a cautionary tale of a student back about 8 or 9 years ago that only applied to ivies and 3 other top schools and did not apply to UMD. She was a top student with good ECs and test scores and ended up with no acceptances. It happens, I think now people are a little more realistic and have a least one or two likely/safety schools. [/quote] +1 My kid threw in a few safeties. But, if worse came to worse and he had no options--only schools he didn't like---GAP YEAR.[/quote] These kids did not get shut out of schools. They're arrogant and think too highly of themselves and didn't get into the schools they wanted and refused to apply to more reasonable schools they could get into.[/quote]
