[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we feel your pain. Our high-stats FCPS DC (4.41w/3.89uw, mid 1500s SAT, full IB diploma, most rigorous classes) was rejected or waitlisted at every single reach/hard target this week (Rice, WashU, NU, Mich, UCLA, Berkley etc.). Looks like the figurative University of Illinois for us.[/quote] These are all reaches. What were her matches/safeties? UVA or WM are at least as good as those schools, and a whole lot cheaper. Message to parents of future applicants - help your kids have more realistic expectations [/quote] Bingo. I would also add a message to parents for future applicants. YOU should be resetting your values and expectations as well. I wrote on this board many months ago that parents and students might be incorrectly assuming that their targets are “targets” when there was a great chance they were likely safeties.[/quote]
