[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given all the options out there I simply do not believe a college degree is unobtainable for the majority of the MC and UMC provided they have either save or are smart and strategic about the the schools their DC applies too.

My DD was rejected from UVA and W&M, and South Carolina was a safety choice but in the end better for us financially and probably better for her academically as it has a better program in her major than either of the VA top 2.

[b]Also, don't believe anything that the schools tell you about last joint at the whole package. They heavily weigh test scores and GPA. My DD had a 3.7 unweighted GPA full IB diploma, 1420 SAT (33 ACT) and has started her own successful business and won numerous state and national awards in her ECs and for academics and was rejected by seven schools.[/b]

I am happy she is going to Carolina, getting out of the Northeast pressure cooker, prestige bubble and will get out and be with real folks. Plus, I get a School with a football team I can root for - Go Cocks! [/quote]

This is just astonishing to me that someone with these credentials, which are impressive, couldn't get into U.Va. or W&M.  The other schools much have been IVy's or far reaches also.
