[quote=Anonymous]Yes, a couple of years ago the child of a couple of Ivy grads was shut out from their list of all reach schools (I think UVA was the school on the list with the highest acceptance rate). The parents were a little older and didn't get the memo that college admissions had changed just a bit since they applied in the late 70's, so they thought their kid's 4.something weighted GPA from a decent NOVA public and 1400+ SAT was the golden ticket. Some people tried to tell them, but they thought they knew better. Kid did get into one of those private colleges that still needed students after April 1, and is doing well last I heard.[/quote]
