[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so disappointed my child didn't qualify in VA with a 223. Their first choice school gives a small scholarship for finalists, and I know it the scheme of college costs it's just a drop in the bucket, but it's so disheartening and a blow to the ego, which is stalling the whole application process.

I know this is a first world problem. I'm still disappointed [/quote]

I have identical twins and one qualified as a semifinalist and the other did not based on 1 question!  They would have both qualified had we lived in just about any other state!!

The non-qualifying kid is so upset and thinks everyone is talking about them at school.  I told them that this is small beans - no one is going to care about this a year from now.  Honestly, they won't even be caring about this over the holidays, when ED and EA decisions are released.[/quote]

This happened to my twins last year too.  It was the first of many painful inequalities in their college process. ☹️[/quote]

Thank you for your comment (and commiseration).   Not looking forward to seeing the process unfold.[/quote]
