just remembered this thread i started months ago. Our friend “Upped” his act a few points (31). We are so proud of him. He is applying to two state safety schools (but still costly.) and to Notre Dame. He is so awesome; well spoken and calm. His mom doesnt understand much at all about financial aid but they did get their EFC.
I am so hoping she can get CSS paperwork figured out. It’s too late to apply for questbridge and other programs. I had arranged two tours for them this summer, but she skipped out at the last moment. I think about how hard he’s worked without the life advantages of my own kids. I’d want him on my team.
