[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD had 1190 (poor test taker) and didn't submit scores, 3.9 GPA, balanced extra-curriculars, summer internship in a research institution for the past two years, employed since 16yo, and highly selective competitive summer (with stipend) camps since middle school. We're in NOVA. Applied based on interest/major, location/campus, and affordability (key factor to graduate debt free).

In:
VA Tech-ED
UW-Madison
UC-Boulder
WVU
CSU with generous merit

Denied: 
Ohio State

Still waiting on her top choice and it's not UVA (she didn't like the vibe there...sorry DCUM). We did hire a college counselor to assist her with applications, because she does not want to listen to her parents.

She had to go to VT if she ED[/quote]

You're correct. It's VA Tech unless her top choice comes through.....her decision...tough choice.

[/quote]

no its not her decision, she made the decision when she applied and was accepted ED to Virginia Tech... that's where she's going regardless.[/quote]

[b]PP here. Her top choice is a private highly selective school. If she decides to go to her top choice, we will lose a deposit at Tech...that's all.[/b]

Very unethical.  If your DD applied ED to a school, and if the school accepted her, she must go there.  That is how it works.[/quote]

To all the pitchforks out there. You do realize most colleges are struggling financially at the moment. Revenue generating activities are non-existent (no tickets sales from college games) and you really can't charge room and board if your students are learning remotely. All of a sudden, your average/below average full-pay out-of-state student is a very attractive option. I do not think colleges care about where your kid was accepted ED, they want your money.[/quote]

Well you have certainly deluded yourself into thinking that... but I'd suggest a call to your high school counselor at the very least to make sure you understand what is at stake for your kid (not you, your kid)[/quote]

I think it is a troll. No one is so arrogant that they would risk their kid’s college acceptance by refusing to pull apps after an ED acceptance.[/quote]

I think the Varsity Blues scandal shows us there are plenty of arrogant parents trying to game college admissions through unethical behavior.[/quote]
