[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was pretty aggressive with his applications.  With one exception, all of his applications were to schools which definitely reject most of their applicants.  He has been admitted to four schools (including the safety).  They are good schools, but perhaps not tippy top from a rankings perspective.  Of his rejections (and there are likely going to be more tonight!), most were not shocking, or even surprising (think MIT, Amherst, Williams), but I was shocked that he didn't get into UVa. Given his academic and extracurricular profile (3.98 GPA/4.53 wGPA/35 ACT/Eagle Scout/2-year captain of HS team), I thought he was certainly going to be admitted there.  Nothing but a sea of green checkmarks around him on the Naviance scattergram, with out any red anywhere nearby.  He applied EA, but not ED, and was deferred and ultimately waitlisted.  I remain shocked that he didn't get in, but I suppose this may be the new normal.[/quote]
