[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. Bad personality maybe. But also just a very competitive cycle.[/quote]

I'm definitely biased but she's a very motivated, hardworking girl... Always willing to help someone out. Watching decisions crush a lot of her confidence is so painful. I told her that she shouldn't compare herself to her peers, but idk how most people wouldn't be incredibly upset if a classmate w/ lower stats and less effort made it in instead of you.[/quote]
There was something wrong with her application, most likely. Sometimes an "off vibe" is the actual cited reason for a rejection. Reflect and re-evaluate. [/quote]

No! This is not true. She does not have a bad personality ( srsly, WTF) and there was nothing off about her application! Come on DCUM-  Admissions is a lottery pure and simple and your DD sounds amazing and this suuuuccckkksss for her and I’m sorry. She will end up happy at one of the schools that accepted her and you’ll end up feeling ok. But right now it stings and that’s ok. Sit with it and realize that those schools aren’t the right place for her.  She might end up at Cornell for grad school or something. She might even get in off the WL. But now? Go to Pitt and Williamsburg and Blacksburg and find stuff to love about them. Hang in there, Mama. [/quote]
