[quote=Anonymous]Rejected at his reach which was his "dream" school.  We were expecting the rejection so he did focus on finding another school he'd be thrilled with.

Waitlisted at UVA and VT and accepted at W&M.

He was also accepted at four other schools.  He had eliminated two based on visits earlier this year.  He did an admitted student event at the school we thought was going to be his #2 - he had done research via their website, went to a local admitted student event and it seemed to cross off everything he was looking for.  But the visit to campus was a huge disappointment so he crossed it off the list.

His last school is my alma mater.  He only applied because it was a free application, and a rolling admission school we figured he'd get into with decent merit aid.  We did the admitted student event because he hadn't heard from W&M yet and he needed a school if he didn't get into W&M.  I love my alma mater so I'm biased but we were blown away by the admitted student day.  It's now a strong #2 and he's not making his decision until visiting W&M in two weeks.

W&M is rated much higher academically, but the #2 offers some unique academic opportunities.  I think he'll choose W&M, but he may surprise me and go with #2.[/quote]
