<p>As a parent, have been through this 2 times now, 3 including the college process that just concluded (successfully, Hallelujah). I was glued to CC looking to read any mention of the potential BS’s. This was the time one hangs on every little burp that it is heard about the possible BS and trying to interpret what it could mean, if anything. Can’t say if my gut feeling was right or wrong because it kept changing. I’ve always remembered an Admission officer friend telling me there is 20% they know they want, 20% they know they don’t want, it’s the other 60% they just don’t know and will take whatever info to assist in the decision process. It helped in knowing that I pretty much exhausted all connections (if any) and that the letters of recommendations were from the best sources available. Always positive with the boys in discussing the possibilities and if things went South then it was the school’s lost. I do believe there is a method to the BS admission madness that can be more understandable than the college admission procedure. All I can say is try not to dwell too much, because I know you will, and Good Luck!</p>
