[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]all deferrals (7EA mix of solid target and 2 low reaches) and one "let's look at mid-year grades" from what she thought we totally a safety. 2 Rejections from super high reaches. [/quote] [b]It sounds like you got bad advice when you developed your list of schools.[/b] Safety schools aren't asking for mid-year grades - many are offering honors college, and sharing research opportunities and study abroad options to encourage high stat students to attend.

NP. We received advice constructing my DC’s college list from the school counselor at our “Big3” private school. Rejected at 2 likely schools (safeties), one target, 1 reach. Deferred from 2 likely schools and 5 target schools. I think the counselor was giving good advice based on knowledge in hand and was blindsided by this year’s admission results. They are not following the patterns in scoir AT ALL.[/quote]

For the price you pay, your Big 3 counselor should have done a better job. I had no idea what I was doing and played college counselor. My kid is in at all the places I calculated they would get into. Kid wanted to apply for reach schools and so it was no surprise to get deferrals to reaches.

My kid doesn’t have an Ivy resume yet I thought one particular Ivy might be worth a try so applied to the one. Assuming it will be a deferral or rejection. [/quote]
