[quote=Anonymous]I have twins. One had very bad test scores and a very bad GPA. He is very bright and perceptive but did not try one bit in high school (or middle school for that matter). The few times he put in a bit of effort, he did well. He also happens to be socially immature and on the spectrum but that’s our issue to deal with. For purposes of this post, he got into 5-6 schools, all of which were very decent. His twin had a much better gpa but below average test scores. He got into every school he applied to and got merit offers from every school but one. Oh, twin #1 even got a merit award from one private school of about 15,000 which we were shocked about. This was a few years ago. Many (but not all) of the top 20 or bust commenters have not been through the application process recently and do not realize how much has changed from even 15 years ago.

Op, I understand what you are saying and it is frustrating to receive a rejection. But look through some of the recent threads as there are many lists of suggested schools for kids who are in the 3-4 range. My son was in the 2-3 range and had success.

There is still time to add some rolling or RD applications. Good luck. [/quote]
