Kind of. Deferred from a reach EA and today a safety EA (which was shocking--I didn't even tell my kid I know. He doesn't want to go ther and doesn't know decisions come out). Waiting to hear from a match tonight and and a match/reach tomorrow. If neither of those pan out (and I'm not feeling good about it, given what happened with the safety today), then yes, we're back to the drawing board. This is way harder than I thought it would be. Good luck to you!

In EA at Elon. Presidential Scholarship. 4.7 weighted at a MoCo high school.

Curious how you know the teacher recs were GLOWING. My daughter is at Holton and they don't share them. I assume they were glowing and she got into her ED but would be curious to see them and wonder if teachers at other schools show them to the students. I have never heard of that happening in the past but maybe it's just our school.

Last week her English teacher voluntarily shared what she wrote with my daughter. She was not asked to do so, but she said she thought that since applications were done, my daughter would like to see it. Her math teacher told her "I sent your letter in, you officially walk on water." I agree that it is uncommon. My DS didn't see his either.

I would keep that quiet, applications are not over and showing LOR's is a big taboo, if she did it then don't out her....extremely bad form.

Nah, this happens all the time. There’s isn’t an ethical issue, in fact legally you do have access unless waived

Where?

In at UVM and Tulane. Not first choices but didn’t want to apply ED anywhere so it’s nice to be in (and also nice not to have to complete and submit any more apps)

3 kids from Sidwell got EA into Yale.

In. No hooks but a 4.0/36.
