[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, definitely apply to more safeties or better matches, and please ignore the negative posters.  There are plenty of colleges that would admit your son, many of which have already been named here. I suggest going back to the college counselor for more ideas as she might be surprised that Eckerd waitlisted. My DS applied to Eckerd too, and from what I have read on College Confidential etc., it is only a pretty sure bet at 3.5 GPA (my DS is below 3.5), so I would not have considered it a match even with good test scores.  I suggest having a frank conversation with your son so that he understands and is on board with casting a wider net. Covid-19 is making many aspects of life less predictable, including college admissions, and if he really wants to go away to college next year it is important that he sees this as helping his chances.  Good luck and try to stay positive, lots of us are stressing now so you are not alone.  [/quote]

Op here. Thank you, and also so many other posters who provided excellent suggestions. Counselor was surprised about the wait list. She suggested a couple more safeties (CTCL SLACs) that we will add to the mix.[/quote]
