[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD with GPA 4.52 (Junior year), 1580 SAT, all 5s in all her 8 APs from TJ with excellent ECs for CS, volunteering/community service and an internship did not get into any of the Ivies and waitlisted at CMU. Major - CS. Obviously we are disappointed. College admissions seems like a lottery. [/quote]

I feel for you, my kid stayed at the base-school and had just under your kid's stats and didn't get in anywhere either but I know it burns when you see the profile of kids who did get in and they are lower.  I think NoVA kids are in general penalized and quotaed.   Also CS is the absolute worst at the moment.  I actually have not heard of another kid getting admitted for CS anywhere yet other than my child.  I hope yours have some decent fall back options. In the admitted sessions we went to (all schools ranked 18 or lower) - all schools reported that the average SAT was over 1500 and the average UGPA was 3.9 for the incoming CS class.[/quote]

Thank you. Yes, she does have some good fall back options but nothing that excites her at the moment. [/quote]
