[quote=Anonymous]This is one of those situations where the parent think that the child is a strong applicant but in reality, the child isn't really that strong of an applicant. I was the same way when my oldest applied to college. I thought he was a pretty good student because he was National Honor Society. But he was only in the top 40 percent of his class. Especially, when schools like UVA and VA Tech are much more difficult to get into now than they were when the parents were applying to college. You have to look at your child in the context of both your high school and the applicant pool for a specific college. And a stem major usually means that stats needed are higher than the college as a whole. I would think that Ohio State and Penn State are possible if OOS. Both schools are easier OOS. Pitt is also possible, but residency doesn't matter as much.[/quote]
