DID SHE GET IN ANYWHERE???[/quote]
OP here.

Yes, she did. She is thinking (if no gap year) JMU then possible transfer. She was accepted at JMU. [/quote]

So your entire subject line and premise was a lie. She got accepted to a Virginia public. Go away, OP, and get your DD excited about JMU. [/quote]
OP here. I never said ‘every single Virginia public’ nor would I. Most schools take anyone. That’s not what I want for my daughter and it isn’t what you want for yours either so get off your high horse[/quote]

Heh. My feet are planted quite firmly on the ground, OP. We were very clear with out two kids that our financed dictated they would be attending a Virginia public, and how very fortunate that we lived in a state with so many good options. We researched and visited most of them, and came away feeling pleased and excited about the opportunities and experiences they would have wherever they went. Our family prioritized academics, and both kids did well in terms of GPA and SAT scores, but--as many others on this thread have pointed out--it's quite competitive, so admission is not a guarantee.

You really blew it, OP. You and your DD could be really excited about JMU, but your approach and attitude has really soured the whole process and experience.[/quote]
