[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This feels like an average athlete striving to go pro… I also note the psychological game here.  She concedes the girl is not HPYSM material but then makes it sound reasonable to frame her as Georgetown level.  The truth is that Georgetown level is basically the same as HYPSM, maybe slightly less but not really since half or more of HYPSM is there for sports, diversity or wealth. Her daughter is nowhere close to any of this. By definition not everyone can be above average, let alone exceptional![/quote]

Exactly. OP (if they’re not a troll) had the audacity to name Ivies as a reach when they weren’t even in the stratosphere. The real reaches were UGA, W&M, UF, Tulane, etc. OP’s mistake was not having decent targets and safeties. [/quote]

Those may be extreme reaches still. My DC likely would not even have gotten into most of these schools since he got a bad grade in AP Calc despite 1500 SAT. I can assure you he is light years smarter than her daughter who seems unable to get high marks at a second or third rate college despite desperately trying to transfer. I think she is wildly underestimating how smart kids still are after you take a step down from T10. [/quote]
