[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My private school kid, who has worked hard but not done well, will likely only have SLACs as his choice. Already deferred at one state university and will likely get rejected from the other three he's applying to. Our local pressure cooker privates have a direct line to the SLACs for the bottom of the class kids who can't get into the large universities. For my kid with a severe executive function disorder, he would have a difficult time navigating a large state university anyway. Though I have no stress about him navigating life once he graduates. He's smarter than 99% of the world. [/quote]

Ok, got it. So places like Denison are for dumb rich kids like your son who can’t hack it at a state school. And I’m sure he’ll be fine once he graduates considering his parents are wealthy and well-connected enough to send him to a competitive private despite his “executive function disorder.” Genuinely curious, why did you even bother sending your kid to an ultra-competitive private school if that’s the case? Seems like a recipe for burnout. [/quote]
