[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Defer from the accepted school for a year - do not decline (say its to help grandparents on the family farm, should be fine). 2. Let him go work on the farm! He will mature and do manual labor and spend time with grandparents - win/win/win. 3. He applies again, writing his essay about helping out on the family farm, which lead him to apply to different schools. 4. He gets in at new schools, or, he attends the one he deferred. Make it clear that these are the only options, he can have a gap year on the farm, but he has to go to college after that[/quote] Came here to say this. Defer, have more compelling essay subject matter and try again next year but if all else fails, he *has* to go to the school that he deferred. That seems like a good compromise. [/quote]
