[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a senior applying early action to JMU and CNU.  She's undecided/arts/humanities.  I'm hopeful she'll be accepted to both (4.2 weighted 1300 SAT), but she may have a tough decision to make.  She likes both a lot but for different reasons.  I'm reading this thread with interest...[/quote]

Your daughter should apply to UVA.  She'd be in the running.[/quote]

I feel like it wouldn't be impossible, but it might be tough.  Plus, she didn't even want to look at the school.  We toured W&M though and she didn't like the vibe or the campus at all.  Oh well![/quote]

Same with my kids.  Similar stats as your DD, but uninterested in either UVA or W&M.[/quote]

Uninterested, or unwilling to take the risk of applying and being rejected?  If the latter, that's too bad.  She'd be in the running.[/quote]

For my daughter (the one with the stats listed above), she was just uninterested in UVA - I honestly couldn't tell you why and I don't feel the need to push it.  Especially since she's undecided.  I think JMU and CNU will suit her and her personality.  She's smart and driven, but she works all the time and is so stressed.  I think she probably feels like UVA would be a continuation of the stress/pressure/academically competitive attitudes of Fairfax County and I think she wants to take a step away from that and experience something different.  She's applying to the honors colleges at both schools, so hopefully that will work out.[/quote]

DP.  Good luck to your daughter - she sounds like she knows exactly what she wants and needs.  Lucky that she has lots of in-state schools to choose from![/quote]
