[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC - 3.97 unweighted GPA at TJ. Presidential scholar nominee. 36 ACT. National science award winner.  Full pay. White.

Accepted early at UVA but waitlisted at Chicago (Chicago called before decisions were out and wanted a hard commit which we declined, which may have been a mistake),
Also waitlisted at Michigan, Carnegie Mellon. Rejected at Hopkins.

Waiting on Ivy day.

Trying to figure out if this is yield protection or this is just a lousy year. [/quote]

and guess what, they will be very successful at UVA if that is what it is. My kids go there now and there are some DAMN smart kids there who were in yours shoes or didn't have the funds to go out of state.  Its not a school full of frat boy buffoons (heck even the frats have some very sharp and accomplished kids).

I know its probably not what they wanted, but they will be fine and find their people.[/quote]

The real problem with the college system is that most kids don’t even have the funds to go to UVa. [/quote]
