They called the kid or you and said u are not getting in?

Signed, a former HS teacher who was close with college counseling. I usually found out a day or 2 before.
Non DMV private here.
Yes they do but only for certain top colleges. Usually it’s a college where our HS is a true feeder (sending 5 or so kids/year). Some are T10, but many in that T11-25 range.
How do I know?
My oldest a few years ago didn’t get in ED (double legacy and our HS is a feeder) and they prepared us. Ended up at Ivy.
They prepared you as in they directly said the school
Told us you were rejected?
They may sugarcoat it but conveys the same meaning. How else you want the news delivered?
