[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was rejected, unfortunately.

It's not just the below-average stats students getting rejected, which now puts us in a situation. Where do we apply, as the rest of her list seems to be harder admits on paper

You had no safeties on your list?? First mistake.[/quote]

+1.  Always, always, always find a school where your kid will get in, you can pay for and they are okay with attending. Two is better.  It’s the reason Pitt is such a hot school. Rolling decision means you can have a September acceptance and many kids like the school when they visit.

One of my kids is a t TJ and yes— every year their are a few kids in late March with no acceptances because they didn’t listen and overshot.  If you have a low stats kid and think Emory was your safety, you need to scrap the college list. Give people actual info and let them give you realistic suggestions.

PP here. We applied ED1 to Emory, it was not a safety, it was her first choice. And DD does not have low stats, a 95UW and a 1530 is not low by any ones measure. She will ED2 to WashU or UChicago, and apply to Tulane and Brandies as Matches. Her state school will be the safety[/quote]
