[quote=Anonymous]OP, is your school a private?  The school’s botching of your DD’s college admissions really is inexcusable if this is a private. Her grades at application time apparently merited applying to top 40. The counselor knew that.  Now they are saying in mid March (!!!) to submit more applications because of the grade debacle about which they had notice in the fall, and definitely knew in January, yet they waited all this time to try to address. This is a lesson that you need to be more assertive in taking ownership of a process like this. But particularly at a private, the college counselor’s sole job is to help students navigate what it takes to get into college and they have much more knowledge than parents. It seems now the counselor is concerned DD might not have any prospects - this was foreseeable by someone in the counselor’s position yet they failed to act timely.  If this goes south I’d consider requesting at least some portion of your tuition back (for utterly botching the college counseling you paid for), or the grade changed to a W or some other resolution from that school. So sorry this happened to your DD.

Having said that, even in a “worse case,” situation, it sounds like your DD is bright and can start somewhere, take manageable (not the hardest) classes and do well, and even could transfer if need be.[/quote]
