S1 and S2 are night and day different academically. The difference is so obvious that there is no tip- toeing around it. S2 knows he is not in the same league with S1 academically.

S1 is at his first choice, our big state u, on a full ride. S2 (and H and I) knew that he did not have the scores for that school so there was no point in applying. With some research, we found 2 other (lower tier) state schools that S2 would likely qualify for and so he applied to those two. So far he has been accepted to one and is waiting to hear from the other on Dec.15. So our solution was..apply to different schools and to ones you think the chances of acceptance are realistic.
