[quote=Anonymous]That seems like a wise decision to me. It breaks to heart to see these teens out here basically killing themselves to do it all... keep straight A's, have a job, volunteer, play sports, other extracurriculars, have time with friends & family, etc. only to be disappointed when rejected from their top schools and waitlisted at their safeties. It's too competitive these days. When kids have to go to school sick because missing just ONE day will set them back a week or more, something needs to change. My DD will graduate from UVA in a few weeks and she wouldn't make it in now with her stats, imo. My son's friends (he's only a junior this year) who are seniors and had better stats than her got rejected from UVA, JMU, and VT. [/quote]
