Everyone can get in trouble, including the HS GC. Often, it’s the kids’ peers who turn them in, should it become known. Happened in D19’s class…a gal applied ED to NU, EA to Georgetown…rejected from both after classmates reported her.
I actually heard of someone who did this but with Georgetown…they got deferred from their ED school but then were waiting to hear on EA Georgetown. I don’t know them personally…and don’t know what their Georgetown result ended up being. But I was confused because we were told that REA means you CANNOT ED somewhere else. It’s annoying that others don’t follow the rules. How can a guidance counselor even allow that?
Nice to see good news when I logged on this morning. D21 has two coming today I think - Tulane for sure, Elon maybe.
Some kids have already heard from College of Charleston but when D checked her portal she realized it says they were missing her virtual school transcript. She took one online class but those grades go on her regular transcript so she had to email the AO and get it cleared up. She did not apply until 12/1 so I would be shocked if she heard anything from them soon.

No bueno! Our GC had to sign off on D’s ED contract and then submitted LORs and transcript through Naviance to all of the schools to which she applied early. Even if a student claimed they didn’t understand what REA was, the GC should surely know?
@homerdog Thanks it is crazy to think about a full OOS tutiton scholarship. I think she likes feeling the love. She did say last night before it came the acceptance came out that she was less concerned about the idea that some of the school are out in the middle of no where. And Miami is certainly one of those. I also think she likes feeling the love.
But that scholarship would be hard to walk away from especially with her goal of either NP school or med school. She could come out of either of those mostly debt free.
That is upsetting. One of the kids I am helping got deferred from Yale and it was such a bummer. Kid is top 5 in class of 840, lots of extracurriculars, Hispanic first generation student, good SAT scores.
Congrats on the Miami acceptance! Did your D18 finish all her law school applications yet? And where is she hoping to land? S18 applied to all his schools just before Thanksgiving and now we are just waiting. Very glad to have that first acceptance in hand so early though, since we were not sure how law schools view KJDs who do their undergrad in 3 yrs. Looking forward to hearing about your D18 acceptances as well as your D21.
