<p>Thanks ACHAT, we’re really going to try, despite the odds! GC is calling today and then we’ve got an entire list of actions in place!! If nothing else it will help keep us from feeling totally powerless! And in the meantime we’ll look into gap years so there will be some other sort of positive thing to do and he won’t be left feeling totally defeated. He’s gotten accepted to the Tanglewood Institute this summer for 3 weeks and he’s really looking forward to that.<br>
That’s interesting that most of the kids at your phs didn’t have good results. I think one of the depressing things for my s is that all of his friends at our hs DID get into the top schools, some with multiple acceptances. That’s why he’s been left scratching his head. As a matter of fact everyone at school is too, including those other kids. I think he would have felt that his plight was more comprehensible if most of the others had gotten rej or wl also.</p>
