[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]meanwhile, my student who isn't an athlete who went TO to T50 schools has all admissions including his reach schools. I'm just as confused as those who were deferred or declined because I had prepped him for being rejected from his reach schools.
White male. 3.5 GPA non-weighted. No hooks. I didn't even go to college myself.

I have no answers.[/quote]

If your DH also did not go to college, being a first gen college student is in fact a hook.  That said, you and/or your son may be very good at picking colleges that are a good fit and explaining why.  Would be interested in knowing major/interests and which schools.  Are you referring to top 50 national universities or LACs?  That also is very different.

In any event, congratulations to your son, well done.[/quote]

My husband did graduate from college so not a hook.  Bucknell, F&M, Colby and Middlebury for Environment Studies.  Safeties were Eckerd, UNE and High Point.

I'm super proud of him. He has always volunteered with Chesapeake Bay Foundation and is genuinely interested in environmental science. [/quote]
