[quote=Anonymous]My child had the same stats and equivalent activities (plus several national awards and valedictorian at a top non-local high school) and had similar results. Got into a great school, just not Duke and not the Ivy League schools they had thought they had a good shot at. Fwiw, they were really disappointed at the time but love the school they attended (a top state school with money offered) and now will be able to afford a private grad school, if they’d like. But in truth, they may decide it’s not necessary and they can save that money for their first home or something else that helps them get launched. Some of life’s weirdest or hardest lessons (hard in a young person’s world) have a way of showing kids a new and even better way forward. Stay positive and they will too. Your child should be psyched, they just may not know how psyched quite yet. They’re in the weeds.[/quote]
