[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to go a slightly different direction.

You need to be cautious about overplaying to your kid that everything that doesn’t work out for her is discrimination against her. You are teaching her that it her outcomes aren’t being driven by her, but assumption about the biases of people around her.

At the end of the day she needs to learn that the only person she can control is herself and her own efforts. You are currently undermining that and risk turning her into a helpless being that is unable to take responsibility for herself. Each of us lives in the same world that doesn’t always feel fair. To abandon on our responsibility in that (like I agree, 4.1 seems borderline low, which she could control) is not the right message.[/quote]

+1 she didn't get into reaches, that's the most likely outcome. 4.1 is below the 25th percentile for UVA and W&M. It's at the median for VT but VT is highly major-dependent and unpredictable.

JMU is a good match, 4.1 is just below their 75th percentile. She will find her people there and have a great time.[/quote]
