Thus spoke a deity, who sees all and knows even more. How lucky we are to breathe the same air as he.

Well, we know he didn’t just apply to UVA, GT and PSU.  We know there’s more of a story than that.

And we also know that very, very few kids are going to be accepted to those three schools alone and pick PSU.  [/quote]Im the PP.  Both kids had roughly the same GPA and both had 36 ACT scores.

It may be hard for you to believe, but my kids did not want to go to UVA or Georgetown.  They both applied to 10 OOS flagships. Both were rejected from Michigan and UNC.  Among those schools they were accepted, Texas and PSU were their favorites.[/quote]
Not wanting to attend Georgetown is easy to believe. But applying when you don't want to attend makes no sense. It's not a quick or easy app.[/quote]

Did they go to private school in DC?[/quote]

Yes.  They both went to private in DC. They both applied to Georgetown and UVA as schools they might want to attend.  They applied to these schools not knowing what their options would be.  I encouraged them to apply to UVA and Georgetown even if they had no desire to attend these universities.  However, they both wanted to attend a big OOS flagships for the big sports and big fun.  My bad!  First time trying the college admissions whirlwind this past year!  [/quote]

I’m sure you tell all your girlfriends that, but they don’t believe it any more than we do.[/quote]
