[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you raise an excellent point about whether it is worth doing this arms race if they are not going to be considered competitive anyway. I wouldn't turn down a flex period. I don't think the colleges are even aware of it. All they are focusing on is what you are taking, and several APs is strong rigor. [/quote] Agree with this. Clemson WAS brutal this year. There's not going to be any guarantee next year. Your kid sounds like a strong student. Just make sure he picks some safeties he really likes. [/quote] So was CU Boulder. I thought it was the only true safety for my DC. DC got in, but scores of other kids did not, including several who had it as first choice. They usually admit well over 50% of the applicants from the school, and anecdotally the vast majority were deferred. So, I think DC’s acceptance was luck. There will be a lot of movement, so we’ll see how this shakes out. [/quote]
