[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who was genuinely shocked that her son was not admitted to VT Engineering. White male at a top 5 FCPS school, with great SATs, but a [b]3.9W after junior year.[/b] He has been admitted to a couple of safeties, but they feel confident he will get into one of his outstanding schools (EA deferral or RD): CMU, UVA, GT or UC Davis (this was a few weeks ago, some may be out by now). Highly educated seeming savvy parents. But, there is clearly some denial going on. You have to base a college list on the kid you have, not the kid you wish you had. The family eliminated [b]GMU, JMU, Pitt, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, etc as not prestigious enough. [/b] [/quote] Yikes! Someone has not been reading the naviance charts or getting good advice from HS counselor if they thought a 3.9W should scoff at the schools listed in the last sentence![/quote]
