[quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised that no one has yet to suggest another pretty obvious reason why he says he’s not interested: fear of rejection. He has a perfect record. Still, most of even those with perfect records are routinely rejected by the Ivy League and other top colleges. Surely OP’s kid is smart enough to realize that and doesn’t want to bruise his ego with a rejection. I’m not saying this to be a dick. It happened with one of my own kids. Was borderline UVA and William & Mary, would have gladly gone to either, but wouldn’t even visit and said she wasn’t interested. I knew her enough to know that wasn’t true. In the end she applied and got in and went, but it took some doing. I had another kid with better credentials but being a theatre kid was used to rejection. Had no qualms about applying—and being rejected—by several reach colleges. Ended up at an excellent LAC. Remember, OP, you are dealing with a young and fragile person. [/quote]
