[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Judging by the absolute slaughter of college admissions this year, she either needs to be starting an LLC, founding a 501(c)3, or curing cancer to have any shot of even getting into a mediocre university.

But in all actuality, she'll be a paid intern at my SIL's office. She'll be doing Marketing/Digital Marketing tasks. DD is very excited because she gets to "dress up" and will make $21.50/hr.

Last summer she babysat neighborhood kids and walked dogs. She submitted at least 50 applications but no one would hire someone under 16.  [/quote]

This simply isn't true, even this year. [/quote]

Mmm'k. Please explain to me why someone with a 4.82w/4.1uw, top 10 in their class, 10 APs with 5s, 1530 SAT, volunteer hours, 2 externships, awards, varsity sport 4 years w/ awards, clubs w/ leadership positions, student government w/ leadership positions, and a longterm part time job was rejected from all VA schools except for VCU?

Rejected: all ivys, Duke, UVA, MSU, UCLA, Stanford, Swarthmore
Waitlisted: Amherst, UMich, UNC, UChicago
Accepted: Rice, Scripps, VCU,[/quote]
