[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think the reason she didn’t get into UVA is the lack of leadership/contribution to her high school community. The time she spent self-studying for extra APs (not helpful, btw) could have been spent getting involved in a EC at her school where she functioned in a team/group setting. Robotics team, Engineering club, lots of options that could have aligned with her natural interests. [/quote] She was in a few clubs and president of 2, but wasn't involved in any sports. This probably wasn't enough then? She did do a lot of volunteering out-of-school.[/quote] Lack of leadership is one thing that could have come up in the application review. Unless the clubs were very active and the impact of you daughters leadership was apparent the impact of the ECs would not be really strong and that would hurt at the schools targeted. [/quote]
