[quote=Anonymous]Your son was (and still is) a good candidate for an Ivy/Duke but they are lottery schools and he just didn't win the lottery (yet). As to what another poster said, while he sounds like an exceptional student, he is like a lot of other students, especially in the Duke application pool. Frankly, you could have been describing my son (same stats, plus and minus a few activities and awards). My son is a smart, hardworking, UMC white kid with lots of opportunities - in other words, like a lot of other kids in his environment. You'll never know why your son didn't get in during the ED round and questioning it, asking for input, etc. won't make the disappointment any easier. He has good options and in the end Duke may still be an option, too. I suspect he'll do very well wherever he goes. Good luck to your son. [/quote]
