Thanks.
Some of the nuttiness gets to me at times re: college admissions, like people panicking over 3’s on AP exams (Did not do well on my AP exams. Should I report the scores?).
What they all tend to forget (which is why I’m grateful for the 3.0-3.4 GPA group here) is that with the tippy top schools, you could walk on water & part the Red Sea, and it still wouldn’t be good enough to get an “accept” instead of a “deny.”
Our HS counselor has talked a lot about finding the right ‘fit’ for your kid (academic fit + affordability fit + ‘campus vibe’ fit), so we’re focusing on that instead of prestige.
