[quote=Anonymous]The OP is right to be disappointed, people should not pile on her so gratuitously. Taking 14 APs puts her child in the top 5000 in the nation, likely top 100-1000 because she scored all 5s in the exams. SAT 1570 is top 1%, maybe not as impressive but at least it checks the box. No major red flags for the GPA since it was 4.0 I wouldn’t say admission to a selective school was in the bag, but she was competitive. Extracurriculars were not that notable but still, absent major red flags in the application it should have resulted in admissions to a more selective college. That doesn’t mean other kids were not deserving. I agree it’s not the end of the world and the OP and her child should move on and do her best at the college she’s in.[/quote]
