[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is crushed. Trying to regroup.   Ideas.  Thoughts. [/quote]

I'm so sorry! I hope your DC will be OK. Sending virtual encouragement. Really, once these schools have filled up [b]slots with athletes, legacies, and children of donors, who they pick is very random, so they often overlook some truly amazing kids[/b].

The other Catholic universities being recommended here sound like good choices. Santa Clara University, Creighton, the University of Portland (beautiful campus!), Gonzaga, and St. Louis might also be worth a look. I know some kids who went to Santa Clara and U of Portland, and they loved those schools. SCU is ranked as "one of the most ridiculously underrated schools in the nation" and is earning more recognition by the year.

HAHA how many posts until throwing shade at all the other excellent candidates for limited spots. Excellent students come in all shapes and sizes and bring something to the table - no school, not even Georgetown wants academic clones. [/quote]

I was trying to reduce hurt rather than throwing shade, but there is no doubt that many truly outstanding candidates are rejected from selective schools, and it can be hard to understand why.  [/quote]

The why is inflated GPAs and TO[/quote]
