[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have been wondering this year about the independent school kids (ours goes to public), bz so many of them put a limit on the # of apps a student can do for colleges. I think I learned from a friend that Sidwell only allows 8. This year, public HS kids (at least in MoCo) are doing many more to mitigate risk (our kid did 14). I do agree with other posters to work the waitlist & also to log into Common App (I just searched for Fall 2021 admissions with deadline 3/31 or later & while most were not schools I'd recognize, there were a scattering of schools your DC might like). I personally would flip into action mode, coming up with a plan B (like spring 2022 start; finding more schools to apply to; figuring out if safety they are accepted to is actually better than it seems at first blush).

I am really sorry for your predicament. I think all of us who have kids applying this year recognize that it is a stressful cluster$%*&. Hang in there - and get to work for your kid, who may not be able to muster the energy. Give them some new options.[/quote]
