[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very anxious and feeling a bit hopeless. She has amazing grades and extra curriculars yet has been rejected or deferred from most schools. She has zero hooks-- maybe that is why she can't seem to get in? You can't do much better than she has done in her classes.[/quote] Unfortunately, 3.6 million kids graduate from US high schools each year, meaning 360k in the top 10%. There are a lot of kids who've done very well in the classroom, and the most selective colleges have to look to something else to help distinguish them from each other. The good news, though, is that wherever she ends up there will plenty of other kids in the same boat and she'll be able to get an education that will prepare her well.[/quote]
