[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visiting with U of Chicago with my niece yesterday, met at least 100 kids that were accepted but not committed and most likely choosing other schools.(My niece has commited).  It was very surprising.  I even met a kid who was going to decline U of C to attend U of Richmond.  I also met a very impressive kid from Herndon who attends South Lakes HS.  Went on and on about how great the IB program there is-was also accepted at three U of CA schools and other top 10 schools. But said  most likely going to attend UVA.

This is my first time visiting the campus and it is really beautiful.  We had a wonderful tour guide and the school really went all out during the visit.  My niece loves it. [/quote]

Homely and unhappy kids...cold weather...tiny bubble surrounded by literal Third World crime and poverty...few in your family have heard of it...slaughtered GPA...not fun. Of course their yield sucks, which is why they rely on ED scams.[/quote]

I hate hearing this - I have had my doubts too - but DC was very interested and has been accepted.  We were very impressed by everything we saw on the visits.  [/quote]

I had doubts (2 years ago).  DD did not.  She was right.  Really couldn’t have done better given her personality and interests.  Contrary to a PP’s stereotype, DD’s a happy, good-looking kid whose well-chosen outerwear has made the weather a non-issue (loves Kuvia and asked for ice skates at Xmas).  She sings in a community choir, is moving off campus, has been delighted by the reactions she’s gotten when she’s been asked where she goes to school, has a very good GPA, and lots of fun both on campus and all over the city. I’m blown away by her relationships not only with other undergrads but with faculty and grad students and by the preparation (logistical help as well as opportunities) she’s gotten for a STEM career.
