[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the only thing we can thing off. Kid 2 who didnt get in basically aced the TSA. Kid 1 did well, but not as well. It had to be the tutor. Kid 2 was devastated….[/quote] Yep, so was my kid #2. But #2 was accepted at great US schools, including T10, and has thrived. Holistic admission is a big black box in US admissions, and interviews are a black box for Oxbridge (esp. in humanities and social sciences). That said, I always thought life was tough for Harvard grads: many of them reach their peak with admission at 17 and life goes downhill from there. So getting rejected from one's first choice college may be a blessing in disguise. My older DC, who was accepted to Oxford, would have preferred Princeton. Life goes on![/quote]
