| You have received some wonderful advice. Something like this did happen to a friend of my son. The friend did have more difficulty re: college acceptances than I would have expected (based solely on grades, ECs, SATs) so I suspect it did lower him on many college lists. I think that is understandable. BUT he did eventually get into a good college and as far as I know has fared well there. This one event has affected your life, but it need not define it. Learn and move on. Adjust your college list to include "deeper" safeties than you otherwise would. A lot of amazing students graduate from non top 10 schools. |
