[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is a Marketing major with a 3.6 or so GPA (above the recommended GPA for many programs) , lots of volunteer hours, club involvement, the whole nine yards and yet every time she tries , the door gets slammed in her face. Those so-called “flagships” that you are talking about are insanely competitive now, too. In state in Virginia and rejection after rejection. Meanwhile, community college students get priority at the same in state schools that keep turning her down.  It’s infuriating to watch other kids with slightly better test scores or 0.05 better GPAs waltz in while she’s left with rejection after rejection. We’re tired of being at a  college everyone looks down on and want a shot at better internships. But no matter how hard she works, she’s always overlooked.

BTW I’m not forcing her to do anything. Stop trying to force your narrative onto me. [/quote]

Business can be a hard major to get into.  Enrollment is capped at a lot of schools.   In my state (not DMV), people transfer out of one of the flagships because they can't get into the business college after matriculating.

Have you looked at or tried Indiana -Bloomington?  What about Ohio State?  
What about Babson for business?

I work at an F500 corporation in the HQ city.  People from small schools are fairly well represented.  I'm always impressed at how far people go from schools that aren't very selective.  And that's because success depends so much on personal drive and characteristics.

Don't ruin your daughter's college years over this.  Sounds like she's doing well right now.  The economy is bad for hiring right now so internships are harder to get everywhere.
