[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 am the PP. 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]

You should have ED-ied.[/quote]
