A bright, creative student, he had already aced three AP classes and planned to take more. He was also editor of the school paper and a member of the debating team. Jared loved to lie on his bed and imagine how Harvard, Princeton, and Yale would fight over him. To Jared's annoyance, his school college counselor did not share his vision. "It's fine to dream of Harvard, but you should pick some safety schools, Jared. You may need them." Jared seethed at such advice. Hadn't he skipped a grade in elementary school? Wasn't he slated to be the high school valedic- torian? And he was sure to get perfect SAT scores, so why bother applying to any schools but the best? Then the real shocks started hitting. First, Harvard rejected him, then Yale. Still, Jared clung to his dream until, at last, in early April, he heard from Princeton. No go. As his friends began planning what they would take to col- lege and arranged their freshman courses, Jared grew depressed. He had nowhere to go. 6. 213 1.
