[quote=Anonymous]OP, you complain that she is disappointed w/ UVA WL, yet you then repeatedly defend applying RD instead of EA because she wasn't that interested. Well, you shouldn't be surprised because clearly, it showed! Both in the RD choice, possibly in her demonstrated interest and likely her app itself. UVA is not a target. Your counselor misled you. Also, she has 1 likely school on her list. Why? She also only has 2 targets, and VT for ENGR is potentially a hard target. She did not apply wisely. I also suspect that her app could have better conveyed what she had to offer. Pitt and VT are good choices. And Pitt should give her 20k of automatic merit. Get another counselor to help her w/ LOCIs, then invest in admitted students' days for what she's got in hand and psych her up for those. Stop comparing to kids who got in. You really don't know what they bring to the table (or how well their app conveyed that). -Independent Counselor[/quote]
