| With so many excellent schools out there I really think that parents need to encourage their child to be open-minded and not fixate on one particular school. Especially with the peak size of the class of 2008, allowing your child to choose one school exclusively only sets them up for disappointment if they are not accepted. About the only time an appeal might be justified is if there were issues with delays in materials (teacher recs, transcripts, SAT scores) that were out of the student's control. |
