[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We are visiting the schools. We are on a visit to one of these schools now and this is when she finally confessed how she feels, in tears.

For those who are telling us she should have worked harder, thanks for that unhelpful advice. She had a rough freshman year grades-wise and it’s been hard to recover. She knows it too. [/quote]

Op screw anyone who says your DD should have done x,y,z differently.

Aside from that, my DD is in same boat. She got some really amazing OOS acceptances with generous offers but was deferred from her dream school in ED- she had worked her butt off for years to get into that school sometimes at the sacrifice of friends and fun. College admissions is no guarantee. We are approaching it by doing in person and virtual visits, determining what she wants from a school and the surrounding area and doing a pros cons list. Are there any rolling admissions schools she might love?[/quote]

Oh, grow up.

Your kid's situation is entirely different.  She had a "dream school" and "worked her butt off for years . . . at the sacrifice of friends and fun" to try and get in.

OP's kid didn't do that.  She had a 3.5 weighted GPA and test scores not worth submitting.  And she got into perfectly fine schools.

She's suffering from Yorktown/McLean/Langley college envy, which is a real thing, and no college with rolling admissions is going to be any better academically or prestige-wise than the ones that have already taken her.  She just needs to live with her very good options and move on.  A few years down the road she won't even think about this.

There are worse things in life. [/quote]
