| OP: I am really sorry for your S's result. There probably isn't a rational explanation except bad luck. A lot of colleges chose to pass. Just he way it happened.
Since it's such a weird year I would pursue the wait listed school with a vengeance. Do research on the school and tailor all communications to the school. Let them know you will definitely attend. Send supplementals geared just to this school and contact professors in the department you are interested in.
We found that was the biggest aid in acceptance. Helped my D turn her ED deferral into an acceptance.
Good luck. And I hope your S finds something to love in his safety.
Advice for next: Have MANY matches as well as safeties. All elite admissions should be viewed as reaches. |
