[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All she's saying is that NCS Bs didn't do anything for getting her daughter - who had scores above the Ivy averages - into a competitive school.  Wait listed at South Carolina?  She probably thought these Bs were valuable after freshman year and didn't realize how screwed her daughter was.  I think she said it was her fault.[/quote]

A kid, from any school, with 3.2 and high scores is not going to go to a top level college. NCS or any other school can not fix this[/quote]

Sure no Harvard or UVA, but wait listed at South Carolina?[/quote]

A 3.2 gpa has little  chance at UMD, or the top VA publics, even in state. No matter what HS they come from. Also, we do not know what college placement advice was given to the parents. The family may have had unrealistic expectations. I have had kids at two different "Big 3" schools and our experience has been that sometimes parents think that because they pay a lot of money to go excellent schools, that the school's reputation will cover over their child's underachievement. In my experience, it does not. Good grades, good scores, execellent ECs, etc all matter. However IME, a 3.2 from a top private, all else being equal, will have better placement in college than a kid from an excellent public school. [/quote]
