Summary: <br> <a href="http://collegepreppodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-02-at-4.13.04-PM.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> This fall we’ve seen some students rejected from schools where they expected offers of admission. <br> <br> <br> <br> 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:<br> <br> <br> <br> * 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<br>
