[quote=Anonymous]I doubt many or even any are truly shut out, as in have NO options. But I do think there are some very strong applicants who applied to an appropriate range of reach/target/likely schools who never dreamed they would only get into likelies and are (understandably, in my opionion) so disappointed in their choices that it feels like a shutout. Kids see themselves fitting into a type of school and are going to be disappointed if the only options are very different from where they they see themselves. I think this might be even more prone to happen to kids who don’t want to contort themselves (or lie, as my kid would say) to convince every school that it is their top choice. Some will call that a bad, low effort essay, but that’s not what I mean. [/quote]
