[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is also still undecided. Didn’t get in to any of his top choices despite 4.7 gpa 1580 sat, 14 APs etc . A little down. So much hard work, hard to see him bummed. Hanging hope on one school that waitlisted him. Think he’s been influenced by his peers to put too much emphasis on prestige. [/quote]

I'm so sorry. It's hard when you see all the work they put in.  Prestige feels great, but the substance of a great education and fit means so much more. Hoping your son has that in his choices.[/quote]

DP. Agree -- you can get a great education anywhere. I have taught this to my kids. Unfortunately not every kid gets into a "great fit" school, so some kids will end up at schools they can get a great education at even if the school isn't the best fit for their personality and interests. That's just the way it goes for some and it's a harder lesson to accept when there is so much pressure to find the "perfect" school (which doesn't really exist). But it's a good lesson to learn.[/quote]
