[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applied to 10 schools, well within range for all but 2.  Received 5 deferrals so far.  Very discouraged.  Trying to help him focus on next steps in deferral process.  FWIW the schools he applied to are seeing insane application volume increase.  For example, Auburn, where EA admits used to be around 75 percent and were 24 percent this year. [/quote]

I thought we covered this last year.  People need to be applying to MORE SAFETIES.  Period.  I am not trying to be harsh, it is what it is, unfortunately. [/quote]

Well, as OP pointed out, many schools that were safeties last year aren’t this year. [/quote]

Very, very bright classmate of DD rejected at a NESCAC this weekend, which really seemed more like a target than a reach for the kid. DD is just in shock as the kid is one of the brightest in their class and had legacy at college.[/quote]

But if they have a 9% or 11% admit rate, the odds that kid would get rejected ~90%...so why are people shocked.

I swear, so many people seem incapable of doing math.[/quote]
