<p>Nervedoctor ! Your note just made my heart skip a beat! It would be awesome if S was accepted to Colby. I did read somewhere that Colby does not deny ED but will defer to regular decision group…Our friends went through this last year -their S applied to Swathmore ED1 - was deferred to RD and he applied ED2 to Tufts and was accepted. </p>
<p>I really feel for HS students like my S - he is bright but didn’t put his all into his HS grades and now he is in this situation ! His attitude has been it is not about the grades - it is about the learning! I agree but society makes it about the grades! hopefully, schools do look at the whole person and not just the grades and test scores.</p>
