[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've worked in secondary schools all of my career and I've never seen a rock star overachiever get shut out of a great colleges. Sure, not everyone can get into Ivies or Duke or even Notre Dame. But there's always the state flagship, Georgetown, NYU or Vanderbilt. No kid shooting for Yale falls on their face and ends up at George Mason.

OP is full of ****.[/quote]

You're playing the telephone game. OP never said her kid was accepted to George Mason. She never said the school he was accepted at, just that it had a high acceptance rate.  She didn't even say which state it was.

She also never said her kid was a rockstar overachiever. She said he had mid 1500 SATs and near 4.0 and that he was a hard-working kid who volunteers to help seniors and continued his work even during the pandemic because he felt bad that the seniors were even more lonely. She also said he wasn't shooting for HYP. She did mention Vandy, from which he was rejected.

It sounds like his list was very reasonable, though she said she didn't include all the schools in this post. I think he hit bad streak. I'm pulling for him.
