[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid for once was just admitted to an Ivy today. very weird, 1 week after Ivy day. we dont know what happened, but it did.. He didnt think he had a chance.

He needs more than 30 days to decide….I dont care if you dont like it or dont understand why. But it is what it is. [/quote]

Well it's unethical.  As well as sad that your kid cannot decide in 30 days.  You take your top choices, then re-evaluate and make a decision.  Also visit the top 3-4 (if you can afford it), to help with the process.  But a kid qualified to gain admission to an Ivy should be capable of making a decision

Just because you, private counselors who sell their souls to colleges and universities that are only really looking out for their themselves think that my kid should decide in 30 days doesn't make it so.

My kid WILL take more than 26 days, whether you like or not. And he WILL likely double depositing whether you like it or not. Call it unethical all you want. It is not like he will keep two schools on a leash for 3 months. I’m sure he will decide soon.

Your opinion about what my kid should or should not do is completely irrelevant to me. MY kid is clearly “capable” as you put it, and YET he wants more than 26 days to decide the rest of his life. Tough that you or colleges dont like it. I would love for one of them to rescind the admission on the basis of double depositing. I guarantee we wouldn’t even have to go far on the courts to get the school to pay up.
