[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens every year. Every other kid has 1550+, 4.9 GPA, amazing EC’s, excellent essays.. etc.
There are only so many seats for the thousands of applicants with similar stats.. .

I don’t think there was anything wrong with her application. It just a crapshoot.. luck wasn’t on her side.[/quote]

No, There are not that many kids W those stats. It is certainly not “every other kid” it’s very rare to have those stats.[/quote]
You must be new here. If your kid's GPA is less than 4.0 UW or SAT of sub-1500, you will be told to send you kid to trade school, community college, or a gap year to add something meaningful to their application to make up for their abysmal test score. It's not a rare profile for wealthy kids from urban centers.  [/quote]

And they'll be right. My kids with high 1400s and not perfect grades in the most rigorous courses (11 APS) did not crack the top 30 schools. It's tough to be from this area. Nonetheless, they love their colleges, and their professors love them and the amazing high school education they bring with them as a foundation.[/quote]
