[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you at public or private school? My impression is that the private schools are doing better as their counselors cultivate relationships with admissions offices. [/quote]

We are in public and were happy with all the school did.  We are happy with the process.  Naviance provided excellent information and helped set expectations.  Which is what I think is important- managing expectations and aiming for schools that are the best fit and not necessarily the flashy ones (although they they may be).

OP- you said that your child got in to 3 great schools.  I don't see how that is brutal.  That is great, he has choices. [/quote]

Agreed. I think it's because I am comparing it to when I was applying and how much the process has changed for these kids!! I hear so many say "I would NEVER have gotten into (name alma-mater) today!!"[/quote]

Then, don't care so much about getting into any one specific alma-mater, and instead celebrate the achievement and opportunities of being admitted to several other good colleges and universities.[/quote]
