[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was deferred. Very somber mood around here. We were pretty surprised based on what we were being told by her CC and the fact she is in a feeder school. 35 ACT, 3.95 UW GPA, strong rigor, leadership, brother and grandfather attended, lots of service and religious activities, unique summer internship helping in a research lab. She got into Georgetown, so that is a good backup should things not work out, but she really has her heart set on ND. Trying to see the upside of Georgetown right now...closer to home (for my selfish reasons), in a nice metro area, warmer weather. I wish Georgetown had the same level of spirituality as ND because DD is very strong in her Catholic beliefs and that was part of the draw to ND. Hope if she does end up at Georgetown, she will find her people. She will also apply to BC, which she actually liked more than Georgetown, but RD might be tough. She doesn't want to take ND off the table by applying ED2 to BC.

Honestly, she seems to be coping better than her parents...very resilient young lady. Very proud of her.

Happened to my kid last year at Georgetown---way above the green in SCOIR, and they typically send lots of kids there each year. Kid was accepted RD, which I am sure your daughter will be.  I think there is good bit of yield protecting where they think these kids are going to choose them no matter what so they can use the early rounds to pick up the kids that meet their institutional priorities, urm, first gen, etc., first.  The schools I have seen doing this over the last few years end up losing these kids RD to Ivies and other T20s because it really upsets the kids to have wasted that early application.[/quote]
