[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my son was deferred from 7 schools right before the holidays--two of them were safeties--and has no acceptances yet. He is very depressed and has given up on school and everything else, over three weeks later. It's awful. I feel for you, but it could be worse![/quote]

I want to know what these “safeties” were and how your son was rejected from them.[/quote]

Why do you want to know and why is "safeties" in quotes. In any event, they are safeties by almost every measure--both with 70-80% acceptance rates overall, and him being in the 75% for GPA and test scores. He also goes to what people here refer to as a "big 3." I was not implying that his safety was in reality a reach, they really were safeties--his college counselor was shocked as well, but couldn't possibly be bothered with finding out what happened. They were deferrals, not rejections, so hopefully at least something will work out. Though all the ones he hasn't heard from yet are matches, so it doesn't seem great. Does that make you feel better?
