Oh you are wonderful! Just what I needed to hear:) We are not giving up and my DS is even committed to alternative pathways if necessary. Hope your child is having an easier time!
Do NOT give up. NEVER give up. W&M is very personal and likes that connection. Keep in touch with the counselor. Keep updating with ANY updates. Our WM senior got in regular decision (didn’t apply early). They definitely have some alternate paths now (including that study abroad one). Hang in there and keep the faith. Sounds like you’ve got a great kid who wants to be there and very likely could be. Hang in there!
Bless you!
