[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD with GPA 4.52 (Junior year), 1580 SAT, all 5s in all her 8 APs from TJ with excellent ECs for CS, volunteering/community service and an internship did not get into any of the Ivies and waitlisted at CMU. Major - CS. Obviously we are disappointed. College admissions seems like a lottery. [/quote]

Sorry, pretty much same stats here and same results.  DC was disappointed and spring break was ruined.[/quote]

I know. I am the PP i.e. DD with 4.52 GPA. DD took care of the all the college apps. No help or guidance from the counselor.  We, parents, didn't help her either except arriving at a list of schools as a family. I don't want to give specific details but she has won a handful of national level awards related to CS, couple of officer positions in clubs, volunteering and continuing her hobbies. She is an effective writer, so her essays are good. I don't know whether they are "stand out" essays or not. She did all she could do, but I feel like I failed as a parent. I should have been more involved, done my research and guided her properly. I know she will do great where-ever she goes. But, it hurts.[/quote]
