[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was surprised my kid got into VT, Penn St and UTK with two C-s! [/quote]Congratulations! And thank you for helping me level-set as I change gears from my “high stats” senior to my not-so-high-stats sophomore. [/quote] Yes! We were in a similar situation. First born got into UVA (dream school). We had to recalibrate with second kid. Still, very pleased with their acceptances. You never know! Make sure their essays are authentic, show some vulnerability, and how they overcame it. They need to show growth. Also, I am a big fan of kids holding jobs, at least during the summer. Even better, if they can get a leadership position on the job. Those are “controllable” aspects of the application. [/quote]
