[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family friend’s son was confident (overly so, imho😔) he’d get into one of the Ivies. He was getting so emotionally distressed after last night’s disappointing rejections. He was a regular high stats kid but with mediocre ECs. Any suggestions on how to console him? It’s hard to tell him his profile was not nearly good enough for any Ivy without hurting him. (We know many high stats kids with much better ECs getting shut out of the Ivies. They’re, though somewhat disappointed, weren’t surprised at all.)[/quote] PS. He applied to a bunch of safeties in addition to a bunch of Ivies. We’re wondering why their college counselor didn’t tell them to add a bunch of targets. I know college counselors are not well paid and we shouldn’t place too much expectation on them. But my kid and I only picked up the information along the way on the internet. [/quote]
