[quote=Anonymous]How did your other kid manage to graduate in 3 years? Took english 11 and 12 in junior year? what about US/Va government? My kid took a lot of APs and will only have English 12 and US/VA government for senior year, wondering if she would be able to take these two in junior year and gradute early, otherwise senior year is a waste of time.
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did it work out for your kid so far, to date, in ED, or REA/EA? What schools/results? 
If non-DMV, can you list state?

If rejected or deferred, has your counselors advice, been helpful, comprehensive and specific as your kid enters the RD process? What types of suggestions have they made and what types of schools did they add to your kid’s list?

If you have to do it all over again, would you hire that firm or company?[/quote]

Yes, would do it again  because they worked w/ my kids on deadlines  and saved our relationship because I didn't need to nag them.

One got in ED was happy as a clam (this round).

The other was applying during covid, first round of test optional and got screwed.  36 ACT (because they took it summer between 10th/11th) and because so many got in TO they got into targets (UMD for example) that they didn't really want to go to but we made them apply.  Reaches ended up WL and then rejected.  They ended up at a safety with lots of merit, graduated in 3 years (lots of APs) and is now using all the money we had saved in their 529 for grad school.

It all worked out, but for that year or so  I was beyond furious[/quote][/quote]
