[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD - 1550 SAT, Top 2% of class (in the top 10 students) at a well regarded public high school. Not full pay. 4.0 UW, not sure of Waited but I want to say 4.6 or 4.7.

It wasn't pretty. We had a wide range but we did apply to a couple of top schools.

Denied at Princeton, Brown, Columbia,  Wellesley.

Wait-listed at Middlebury, Rice, and Barnard.

Accepted with lots of merit aid at Tulane, Fordham, Lafayette and some decent publics.

Accepted with No Merit at U Richmond, W&L.

I do think being a female hurt her especially at the SLACs. I would very much caution expectation setting.[/quote]

Surprised at the "no merit at U Richmond. They are courting high stats kids big time.[/quote]

PP here. That's what I thought. And I called them to express interest and they weren't biting. I do think if my DD was a DS it would have helped at the SLACs, and maybe at Richmond. [b]I would not plan on the notion that URichmond is courting high stats kids. [/b]My DD stats were higher than all their 75% percentile and they weren't the least bit interested. I was told "it was a tough year and we wish your DD well". [/quote]

Who in the world would even want to go to the University of Richmond?? Why is this even part of the discussion? It’s an average university in a pretend city with a snotty attitude, surrounded by opioid addicts. Whenever my credit card number is stolen it’s always charged up in Richmond. Blech[/quote]

And then the moron arrived. Hi dummy![/quote]
