[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child with over a 4.0 and similar SAT's was rejected from MacAlester, Emory, and Oberlin. Your child will not get into those schools. [/quote] Ugh. I hate posts like this. Stop saying things so definitively. My child was accepted at both Macalester and Oberlin with similar SATs and a GPA in the 3.6ish range. So really, you don't know. Do I think those schools are matches for OP's kid? No. But I also think she should ignore posters who think they can so definitely say they her kid will not get into a particular school (save for maybe HYPSM).[/quote] Yes, but she should also, as was said pages ago, make sure her son has some true safeties on his list--colleges where admission is extremely likely, that the family can afford, and that the kid likes. That means in addition to the Macalesters and the Oberlins, he needs some, say, Mary Washingtons and Gouchers.[/quote]
