[quote=Anonymous]One of the smartest things I heard when DD was going through the college admissions process was a guidance counselor who said βevery university is putting together an orchestra every single year. They need a variety of students. They cannot have just all tuba players.β This makes sense to me. College choosing my kid or not is not just stats. None of these high performing kids are owed an acceptance. There is no reason at all my DD got in some schools and not others with a 1500 SAT and. 4.3 Gpa. Except that itβs an orchestra. To everyone who says they were devastated not to get into VT but are quick to point out in most cases there were admitted at higher ranked schools, ask yourself why? Is that just ego? Consider the orchestra and it makes better sense. And be so grateful you have a smart hardworking kid who has several excellent choices. [/quote]
