[quote=Anonymous]To the OP: No fairy tale ending but also no bloodbath our kid knew going in they didn't want a protracted application decision process. Applied to three good schools including one rolling that were all on paper matches. Caveat was one was a match for our older kid which resulted in him being waitlisted and never admitted. In at all three. 4.3 weighted. 1400 SATs. Decent academic rigor and good AP scores. Varsity athlete but not not D-1. Unhooked. Know what your kid can handle both during the application process and in the transition to college. I have seen a lot of kids really struggle after the college drop off. Have your kid be honest about where they think they can really thrive, not where they think every expects them to go.[/quote]
