- Education
This fall we’ve seen some students rejected from schools where they expected offers of admission.
In some cases these rejections seemed surprising. However, Megan lays out why the rejections made so much sense, and what famillies can do to avoid the potential pitfalls. Specifically she discusses:
* Faulty assumptions that all schools are equally test optional * Lack of interest on the students’ part, and the school’s reaction to that* Recommendations or interviews that sent the wrong message* Failing to submit ALL elements of application on time * Over estimating student’s credentials
