[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had her hopes up for a top school and didn't get it. It was very traumatic for a week or so (and now she's happy where she is). What shocked me from the experience is that I thought ivies were always hit or miss and so she had several mid level schools on the list-- Northeastern, Boston University, etc. and she was also rejected from most of those. I learned later that those schools care so much about yield and have a ton of applications so bring in a lot in the early rounds and also engage in yield protection. So a kid with 1550 SAT, tons of APs, and all As were rejected from those, also. I'm not sure what I can say about doing differently except managing expectations![/quote] Can you say what colleges she was rejected by and which ones she got in? Statistically your daughter should have been admitted to a T20.[/quote]
