[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s almost as if OP is just now realizing how tough it is to get into top schools these days.

Those stats were fine 15 years ago but the world has changed. Kids with a 4.0 are common (and still get rejected without other impressive stats)

+1. Today, with Naviance Scoir and Schev there really is no excuse for a post like this[/quote]

+1.  There is so much data available now that everyone knows going into applying to UVA, the ivies or other top schools that it’s all a lottery. Posts like this might have made sense a decade ago but no longer since we have SCHEv, Naviance and Scoir. Just reading results here and on college confidential and Reddit told me my kid didn’t have a chance in hell when applying a decade ago to Ivies. But the good point is that parents need to educate themselves so they don’t wind up disappointed and pissed like OP. There is simply too much data out there now to be ignorant about admissions. And if you choose to remain ignorant then hire a private counselor to do the job.[/quote]
