[quote=Anonymous]There is a similar stat kid (and generally great guy) who was president of Landon student body last year and got into Harvard, so understand your disappointment at getting deferred and most likely rejected from Duke. But in the game of life, you did win the kid lottery already. My kid was all region 4 year athlete with 1500 and almost all A’s with 9 AP’s and was rejected at UNC let alone scholarship. And it was top choice. I mean it’s fair, your kid is more impressive. My point is just frame the college admission as a success with the results you have. I still consider myself so lucky to have a child that has done well and it is all relative. This will all work out for your son and he seems destined to do great things. Don’t focus on the downside, focus on the upside.[/quote]
