[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD had 1190 (poor test taker) and didn't submit scores, 3.9 GPA, balanced extra-curriculars, summer internship in a research institution for the past two years, employed since 16yo, and highly selective competitive summer (with stipend) camps since middle school. We're in NOVA. Applied based on interest/major, location/campus, and affordability (key factor to graduate debt free).

In:
VA Tech-ED
UW-Madison
UC-Boulder
WVU
CSU with generous merit

Denied: 
Ohio State

Still waiting on her top choice and it's not UVA (she didn't like the vibe there...sorry DCUM). We did hire a college counselor to assist her with applications, because she does not want to listen to her parents.

She had to go to VT if she ED[/quote]

You're correct. It's VA Tech unless her top choice comes through.....her decision...tough choice.

[/quote]

no its not her decision, she made the decision when she applied and was accepted ED to Virginia Tech... that's where she's going regardless.[/quote]

[b]PP here. Her top choice is a private highly selective school. If she decides to go to her top choice, we will lose a deposit at Tech...that's all.[/b]

Very unethical.  If your DD applied ED to a school, and if the school accepted her, she must go there.  That is how it works.[/quote]

To all the pitchforks out there. You do realize most colleges are struggling financially at the moment. Revenue generating activities are non-existent (no tickets sales from college games) and you really can't charge room and board if your students are learning remotely. All of a sudden, your average/below average full-pay out-of-state student is a very attractive option. I do not think colleges care about where your kid was accepted ED, they want your money.[/quote]

Whether or not the school needs your money, OPs intended action is unethical. Also, OPs hopeful target is a highly selective private. Those schools are doing fine and don’t need your money. If you can’t attend, someone else will. The only schools that need your money are those who can’t find student replacements. Those schools are pretty far down the ranking list, certainly not the Top 100. [/quote]
