[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp whose daughter was accepted here:

Private school is reason for few AP classes. I am probably talking her down because I read these boards and (wrongly) have compared her to the kids on here. Plus, her friends have been pressured about college for years and we really tried to stay away from that. Based on her ACT score with few hours prep and grades in classes, she is intelligent. She just isn't one of these TJ kids I read about or science Olympiad winners.

Her EC are mostly yearbook. Junior editor last year and now editor. She spends too much time on it. She has tried various sports but was never that great. But, to her credit, she did put herself out there by trying many.

She is interested in hiking, math, and graphic design. Plan is degree in engineering and some architecture courses.

Maybe they focused more on the holistic process this year. She will do well because she is a hard worker. Assume her teacher recommendations were powerful. Although I have told people, she has kept the news quiet.

I think girls have a leg up when applying for engineering.  My DD was accepted UVA engineering ED as Rodman scholar.  Her brother's stats were better and also got in ED 3 years ago, but was not selected as Rodman.[/quote]
