[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does she feel about having W&M and VT as her choices? If she doesn't get into UVA (and at our private, her stats put you in the running but not guaranteed by any stretch), that will probably be what she's considering and I'd ask her how she'd feel if that was really her situation. If she's ok with that and can see herself liking them both, or at least one, then sounds good. If she's going to be disappointed with VT and W&M, then I'd keep looking.

You’re a private school parent projecting your own dislikes and disappointments.  We public school folks don’t think like you do.  [/quote]

I’d be thrilled with VT and W&M for any of my kids. I framed it this way because I had a kid not get into his ED1 or ED2 and not really love any of his EA or RD choices. Turns out he didn’t really think he’d be considering them. Sharing that perspective in case it’s helpful because sometimes things don’t break for really high achieving kids like OP. I did this thought exercise with my other kids and it was helpful. Personally I think those would be great options but I don’t know OP’s kid. [/quote]
