Congratulations!

My child has also had a challenging high school experience and so far been accepted to three "lesser" colleges that are safeties for her. But she really loves one of them and may ultimately choose it over better-known/higher-ranked schools once all the decisions are in. I'm really happy that she's found a place she loves, with a strong program for her interest, that we can afford. Whether or not the neighbors are impressed with a bumper sticker is irrelevant.

exactly

I'll be thrilled if my kid is able to go to ANY 4 year college, considering her struggles (currently a junior). If she gets into ODU, we will be thrilled. There is a school in MI on her list that is auto admit at 2.25 - still would be over the moon if she goes there.

DD accepted OOS EA Business 1500 SATs 4.8 unweighted GPA plus 7APs & 2DE. Offered scholarship money tba in March.

Congrats to your kid. Curious, how does one have an unweighted GPA over 4.0? Do you mean 4.8 weighted or 3.8 unweighted? Thanks.

Good question -- it was a typo. DD had 3.8 unweighted GPA. Thank you for catching my errror!

Accepted at clemson. 34, 4.25, submitted common app essay and the optional one. lots of long term ECs, none in major. From reading cc yesterday alot of the defers didn't submit essays, not sure if that's considered in this new EA round.

Yes, dtgr accepted OOS

Clemson:
OOS, no hooks, 1340 SAT, 3.72 unweighted, 1 AP, NMSF. DD only did two extracurriculars, but did them all four years and had a leadership role in both.

1340 SAT NMSF??

My student did not write the optional essay and was accepted with merit. She did, however, also apply for the honors college, which had 2 essays on its application.
