My daughter’s hs valedictorian had a 4.0, 10 or 11 APs and DE m 36 ACT.

Applied to 16 of the top 20. Got in none. Accepted NYU full pay. Goes to U Tennessee.

The profile your student created is awesome and they should be proud.

They, not the school, will create their long term success.

I laugh. My old college gf almost flunked out of our mid level private. Psych degree. Been an entertainment vp since 28 years old. Crushes me career wise - prob $500k plus.

It’s about your kid.

If someone says no, that’s their loss, not yours. He should be proud.

The error was you allowed a dream school. Never allow a dream school. All schools have warts - bad roomies, profs, food - whatever.

Your son got himself this accomplished. If he keeps working hard, the sky is the limit whether he goes to UMN or MIT.

That’s the truth.

Good luck to him.
