[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the family rejected at Swat, I understand why not to go ED. I don’t understand how the other students can be that much stronger than her w those stats.
Anyway, she did great In high school. Hope she feels good about that. [/quote]

Thank you. That’s kind of you to say. The two girls above DD in the class are both 36 ACT, in multivariable Calc, AP Physics C, and are active in activities like piano competitions and dance outside of school. DD is also a pianist and takes lessons, but doesn’t compete anymore due to lack of serious practice time.

If I could do it over again, I might have cautioned DD against playing 3 sports in HS (plus a club sport). She’s a good athlete, but D2 at best, so maybe she should have focused her energies elsewhere. On the other hand, she is literally the only student in her class who plays three sports, girl or boy. It’s highly competitive, and I’m amazed she has been able to pull it off. DH and I have always encouraged her to do what she loves, and let the chips fall where they may. The chips are falling now, not necessarily how I thought they would - but it is what it is.

DD’s younger brother has a medical condition with significant expenses associated with it, so that’s why we simply couldn’t commit ED. She’s lucky to have a state school option, even if it isn’t her first choice.[/quote]
