[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a Marketing major with a 3.6 or so GPA (above the recommended GPA for many programs) , lots of volunteer hours, club involvement, the whole nine yards and yet every time she tries , the door gets slammed in her face. Those so-called “flagships” that you are talking about are insanely competitive now, too. In state in Virginia and rejection after rejection. Meanwhile, community college students get priority at the same in state schools that keep turning her down.  It’s infuriating to watch other kids with slightly better test scores or 0.05 better GPAs waltz in while she’s left with rejection after rejection. We’re tired of being at a  college everyone looks down on and want a shot at better internships. But no matter how hard she works, she’s always overlooked.

BTW I’m not forcing her to do anything. Stop trying to force your narrative onto me. [/quote]

if she is unable get a 4.0 at her current no name school how do you expect her to get passing grades at a selective school? It sounds like it’s likely she would struggle.

Maybe it’s better for her to focus on her current school, work in getting a 4.0 and diversifying with a double major or a minor and internships with a goal of applying to more selective graduate programs[/quote]
