Do you mind sharing her stats, please?
And congrats!
So, what you think for him accepted? Essays? Use of a college counselor?
I was also accepted but had done way too much crap! Don’t get any fin aid and my parents may not pay it :(((
4.0 GPA (unweighted), 5.7 (weighted), 35 ACT, 15 APs (all 5s), great extracurricular, recommendations, no sports, non-legacy powerful essays. Note: Did not use a college counselor. Did not apply for financial aid.

Pronouns are she/her. And SHE wrote about various things which made her the person she is. Her journey, her life and her experiences all culminating into who she is and what she wants to do. Break glass ceilings!

Interesting and congrats! Similar situation. Where is he leaning. In our case letting her enjoy the moment but the next 30 days will be tough as she decides!
Waitlisted. I doubt I’ll be lucky enough to get off the waitlist - how does anyone ever get off a Harvard waitlist

I think you can still apply for aid. Reach out quickly to the Financial Aid office.
