[quote=Anonymous]Oh, wow. That's a tough one. Really hoping a WL admit comes through that will appeal and solve your problem. I think you are right to worry about a gap year and admission success. We know a kid who was in this position last year and took a gap year doing research/internship, but rejected ED to a reach. Yes, it was a reach, but she is an amazing student with tons of awards, and her gap year stuff was a good addition to her app. thought she would be at least deferred. Going to a great school, but applied to a TON (like 20) this year. School she is going to is probably halfway down her list or more.

The farm sounds awesome, but I agree that it will likely decrease chances for admissions next year unless kid does something dramatic w/ essays, demonstrating interest, winning some awards or other app aspects in the meantime.

But, I suppose it would be a great life experience, and there will always be somewhere that will accept him after a gap and offer him a good education. Good luck w/ it all.[/quote]
