[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would let him do it, but not without a “lessons learned” family meeting re: his college application season. His results are worse than expected. Expected would be in at all likelies and in at some matches. His results suggest to me that your family misclassified the colleges. You know you need to take acceptance rates into account, not just his stats? Your family needs to take a clear-eyed look at what happened, so he has a realistic plan for his next attempt. [/quote] Sometimes kids get worse results than expected. My kid was wailtlisted at every likely/match, but got into one high reach and all their safeties. It happens. [/quote] “Got into all their safeties” - that’s the key. Sounds like this kid did not have safeties, and was counting on getting into “likelies/matches”. Needs a new strategy next round.[/quote]
