[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of these threads on students getting rejected from schools like Vanderbilt, Emory and other big names make me wonder where are the students getting in that have say a 3.5 weighted GPA and 1200 SAT? I have a younger highschooler and this will probably be where she falls.[/quote]

SEC schools other than Vandy, UF and UGA; [b]CTCL schools[/b]; Jesuit schools other than Georgetown and BC; High Point U, the life skillz university.[/quote]

Don't waste your money on CTCL schools.[/quote]

[b]Please say more. Do you have children attending any of these schools?[/b][/quote]

No, I don't.  One of my kids applied to a couple of them and she was high achieving and got merit money but went to a top 10-15 LAC instead.  CTLC schools are more for underachievers with wealthy parents who tell themselves these schools are special when they're not.  They typically have low graduation rates, etc. [/quote]

Well . . . you're a real peach. My kid isn't applying to colleges yet, fwiw. But, there is a way to give criticism without putting other people down. [/quote]
