<p>I have a daughter that applied to all the 'usual' schools this year, (i.e. Hotchkiss, Milton, Groton, Taft ) She was rejected by most, but made wait-lists for Hotchkiss and Milton. Needless to say, she most likely won't be going away next September. She's utterly crushed and can't figure out why she couldn't get in to any, especially Taft. And, neither can I.</p>
<p>If anyone has a child who attends one of these schools, please, do you have any tips that could be useful in next year's applications? Who ever got accepted, what did they do?</p>
<p>My daughter is and A student (with the exception of math - b/b-/c+), does a TON of community service, participates in sports, theatre, Girl Scouts and student government, she is really, a great person. She's also won many awards. What should she do?</p>
