[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We’re not stressed at all. He’s in at the in-state option,[/b] which is perfectly good and affordable. My kid knows it’s up to him to work hard and make his own life happen. He’s not dependent being at the “perfect” school. If he gets into a reach, great. But there’s no guarantee his outcomes would be any better compared to State U. Research suggests it doesn’t matter either way - it’s all about the kid and their approach to life. [/quote]

You didn't feel any stress before he got accepted? [/quote]

If you apply EA, you are accepted and get results within a few weeks. There is not enough time between applying and getting the acceptance for any stress to build up. In my DC's case, high achieving student with impeccable stats and ECs, so we did not think he would not be accepted in the in-State public flagship.  It is really great to be in and it takes away all stress.

Impeccable stats?  People really talk like this??[/quote]

:roll: Well, obviously I don't talk like this IRL, but on an anonymous board? Yup. I am very proud of my kid's achievements.   My Asian-American DS from a magnet STEM public HS  had - 4.0/4.8, magnet STEM public school, 12 APs, 1600 SAT and NMS, research papers etc. These kinds of stats are not rare and uncommon in our circles.  Neither is someone like DS applying to in-State flagship and getting full merit aid. So yeah - impeccable academic stats.

Now that my kid is in college and doing a double STEM major ... still impeccable stats and impressive internships.  At some point in his professional career, race will become a neutral factor mattering less and less to  employers.  But, till now, doors have opened for him because of his stellar academic performance.  [/quote]

BS if those are your DS's real stats. Absolute BS.[/quote]
