He is going to take a gap year.  His choice was community college (we're in NoVa so NOVA is a great option) or work, and he chose work.  My husband, his dad and a couple other parents are working together to get a series of jobs lined up (not internships but kinda like) and he will do a 3-month mini-Mission associated with our church.  Then he will reapply next year.

He has great SATs, not much to really improve upon because it is 1500+, good APs, good grades, etc.  But it is like every school took a look at him said "male, white, UMC = privileged" and unchecked his box.  Before everyone screams I will tell you that we are a multi-racial family ourselves so I feel pretty comfortable calling out the racism that I see being used against him.

Anyway, he will survive and he will succeed.  But it is a hard lesson for him to learn and us to watch.[/quote]

There were a few weeks where I thought my DD was heading in the same direction, so I feel your pain. It sounds like he has a strong support system in place and i truly hope only good things come his way. But I still can’t wrap my head around the idea that a student with his stats would end up in this position. It’s an utterly inhumane process.
