[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone from recent years have a kid who had high stats but ended up with no options aside from their true safety school?
I.e. they applied to top30 schools (with their college counselor's strong support and/or the support of previous years' stats from their school) but the cards just didn't fall their way and they ended up in their true safety school?

How are they doing now?

My kid is a senior at their safety school.

Was rejected from one reach, WL at another (attitude became if they don't want me, I don't want then), in at the state flagship - a target (which they never wanted to attend but we made them apply), rejected from another out of state target and deferred and then rejected from another.  In at 3 safetys, and decided they really liked one of them.  Has done well, made terrific life-long friends, and is applying to grad schools for next year (humanities major under grad, think History or English).

4.81 wgpa, 12 APs (all 5s), 35 on ACT, national awards and more.  And to reiterate, happy as a clam at their safety school.[/quote]
