This! It was a huge wake up call for my DD when she applied REA and was rejected. 3.98 UW GPA, 36 ACT she has published a book and 3 articles, principle in her instrument in a youth philharmonic past 3 years, and sectional athlete. She has 2 acceptances right now from her safety schools. Kids like her are a dime a dozen.[/quote]

No, your published, brilliant, perfect test score, athletic and talented DD is NOT a dime a dozen. She is actually extraordinary. I do not know any child as impressive. Wherever she was rejected made a big mistake but I am sure she will land well and continue to do great things!![/quote]

Thank you so much. She knows she will thrive wherever she does attend college. When she was rejected she said "admissions officers have a better feel for who will fit in to the school than the applicant. When I applied I thought it was the school I wanted but even before the decision came out I was having second thoughts." I don't think I was that mature when I was 18.[/quote]

I agree with the PP -- she sounds fantastic. Definitely not a dime a dozen. 
Frankly,  I think no kid is , but yours seems to do a better job of standing out than many.  Mine was rejected scea last year, but the ended up with 5 fantastic admissions in RD. Good luck to yours.[/quote]

Agree, OP. Your kid sounds awesome and is NOT a dime/dozen. She sounds like Ivy material, actually- effortlessly smart and social to boot.

-parent to the physics-loving yet sporty DS who’s been on both threads with you! 😊[/quote]
