[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any parents of STA seniors care to share the real inside scoop? I heard the CCO always tell parents "in the end everything works out". Sometimes it does not, if you have your Top 5/6 kids not getting into at least the bottom Ivy's.[/quote]

Everything did not work out this year so stop spinning. Lots of disappointment all around.[/quote]

You're spinning your own story just like the CCO is. 
College counseling says "everything fine".  You and others keep saying: "many disappointed". No one is giving more info. 
It's very difficult to figure out what is going on.

To be more concrete:
Is it "disappointed because my [b]93% boy did not get into an Ivy" or "disappointed because my 93% boy is going to Penn State or Indiana"[/b]

No one can tell with these vague comments from either side.  [/quote]

Isn't that the same? If you are top 1-5 percent in the class and can only manage Penn State and Indiana, that would be a huge disappointment.

You have to recognize that there are only so many schools any given kid can apply to. If you miss at your reaches, or targets, other reaches and targets that you didn't apply to may have admitted you, but you can't apply to all of them. Kids take a shot and sometimes it doesn't work out at the places they chose to try.[/quote]
