[quote=Anonymous]I was a little surprised this year at DS's school. He goes to a small private and the strong students become obvious throughout the years. Several of the strongest chose local or small schools. Finances, interests, and proximity to home played a role. Unless someone got into Stanford or is going to the local community college (and even then), I don't make judgements about their achievements and current capabilities. I know your DD is disappointed. My son hit his targets but was ultimately rejected/waitlisted at all reaches. He's a great student and we encouraged him to embrace his new school. Once he applied for housing, got on social media with other incoming freshman, and signed up for orientation, he's all in. [/quote]
