[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has two friends who were rejected from their #1s, UVA, but each got accepted to an Ivy (Penn & Princeton). One was also rejected from each of his safety schools. The safeties! It makes no sense! How can you get accepted to Penn and rejected from UVA, W&M, JMU, and UMD??

Makes me wish I had pushed my son to apply to some ivies. He didn't have any desire in them, but his stats are only slightly less than the friend who got into Penn (unhooked) and about on-par with the friend who got into Princeton. And DS was accepted to UVA, which was his reach and #1. His gf was rejected from UVA, and she has much better stats than DS. His gf was applying for engineering and DS is going for biology for pre-med, though, so I know that also factors in.

I'm so glad DS is my last kid to go through the college acceptance process because I can't take the stress of another around. Cannot.Do.It! [/quote]

UVA, W&M, JMU, and [b]UMD[/b] know they're not interested in attending and would rather give the spot to someone who's likely to say yes.[/quote]
They're selling themselves short if that's the case. I know at least a couple friends' DCs declined Ivies to attend there.[/quote]
