[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.

My DC was also deferred. So were all their friends. I am sure the pool was extremely competitive, and the standard top-grades excellent student profile was just not enough. My DC is also reevaluating. College admissions is a game, and don’t forget it. [/quote]
