[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never said she didn't get in anywhere.  But going beyond saying that she was wait-listed at a big State school (not Berkeley, Ann Arbor, or Chapel Hill either) wouldn't do much for my anonymity.  We thought 2310 supplemented with 800 math level 2 would open more doors than it did.  It's tough out there and it doesn't seem like Bs from NCS are worth that much more than Bs from less rigorous schools.  EVEN WITH STELLAR SCORES.  Again, not blaming the school.  Just putting it out there.  I'm not saying don't go to NCS.  I'm saying that your daughter needs to hit the books hard and if she doesn't end up with very good grades, you might question your investment, which for some - like us- was relatively quite substantial.  Good luck![/quote]

I have zero doubt that what you say is true.  I applaud you for sharing your experience.  My DC is basically a B student at a top 3 and is having a similar experience.

To those who doubt her story:  All she is saying is not to assume that Bs at a top 3 will open doors to selective colleges.  That's all.  And that is a fact worth knowing prior to spending $40+K a year.[/quote]

I don't doubt her story but she keeps coming back here, making her point over and over again, so this thread won't die.   [/quote]
