[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see your points but IMO the high performing kid is between and rock and a hard spot as yield protection at the lower ranked schools is also strongly in play.[/quote] Totally agree that it’s particulary tough on the high performing kids who don’t have a hook. I think the only solution for many of them is to go to a lesser school, get good grades and transfer. My neighbor had a kid like this — brilliant but did not get into top school. Enrolled at a state school, got strIght A+s and easily transferred to a top school. The transfer prices is more sane. And SAT scores can be used for several years.[/quote]
