[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate everyone’s input. I’m aware that my daughter isn’t a straight As valedictorian. I know she’s not getting into princeton but it also doesn’t automatically bar her from a better school. And yes, I used strong language because that’s how it’s felt watching her get rejected again and again.

We have considered “mid-level” schools, but even those seem tough to get into lately, and the ones I listed are places she’s always dreamed of attending. It’s not just me pushing some elitist agenda. I do believe she’s capable of higher-level work, or at least she wants to push herself toward that.

I think she has the potential to go farther than her current school allows. As for private counselors, we might look into it again, although some of the fees are sky high and we’ve already spent a lot on tutoring. And yes, the idea of grad school at a better-known university is on our radar, but she’d still prefer to fix her undergrad path if possible.[/quote]

You need a counselor or professional in this space to review her candidacy objectively and be honest with you. Maybe she was applying as a business major (e.g., marketing) and she is 100% not competitive with that GPA. But if she changed to communication or public relations or something similar she'd have more luck?

Are finances relevant? Or are you full pay anywhere?

Seriously, ask Jeff to close this post to spare you more vitriol, hire a private counselor, and heed their advice.[/quote]
