[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected. 1540 SAT, 3.5 UW / 4.5 W GPA, 11 APs, W-school, high income. Varsity sports, solid community service and leadership activities. Really bummed.[/quote]
good SAT score, but the GPA is probably on the low side for a W school.

My kid had super high stats (1580, 4.0/4.92 wgpa from a magnet) and was rejected at schools like UIUC.  They did get into UMDCP.  It was an ego hit and shocking to all of us really that such high stats would get them rejected to UIUC.  Didn't help that they are a CS major.

Your kid will find a good fit and be happy where they land. I think most kids do.  But, it is a real bummer initially.[/quote]

UIUC CS has a less than 7% acceptance rate. A rejection there is nothing to beat yourself up about. Plus UMD CS is one of the best. Your kid will land somewhere great––UMD or another place they like more.[/quote] UIUC was brutal this year![/quote]
For CS is always is[/quote]
Yup. But other majors are easy. CS+X is not nearly as hard as CS (though not as easy).[/quote]
