[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this thread has gone off the rails. Maybe OP is spamming or having kids spamming because it is clear that this kid had potential with a giid academic profile but could have done much more to develop EC profile and made crucial mistakes in terms of application process. (And, if the kid had a modicum of the entitlement the poster had, possibly not the best on communication). OP expected UVA RD to be a likely-mistake. She let kid pin hopes on Hopkins but didn't even have jer apply ED1. Double mistake. She didn't apply widely enough.

This family made serious mistakes.  [b]I think the biggest was expecting grades and test scores to do more than just get the kid's file reviewed. [/b]

Instead of owning it, OP just kept arguing with everyone, so that's why I think she had something to do with this derail. Maybe this board has made me overly cynical.[/quote]

This happens WAY more than we all think. I'm on a bunch of parent FB groups for the class of 2025 - the amount of whining and crying about how their kids' stats (ranking, scores, grades, rigor) should have been enough for T20, and how could they have been shut out.

Most don't understand holistic admissions, the role of major, and the critical importance of developing a compelling story.[/quote]

And if they were Asian five years ago, they would have blamed it on that.

With maturity, people need to grasp that they really are not as superior as they have been led to believe. [/quote]
