[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong.  35 ACT, NMS, varsity sports, leadership, same summer job since freshman year of HS, did not get in.

Keep telling yourself it is the same, but is is absolutely not.[/quote]

Which college specifically rejected this kid outright? Name the school. [/quote]

UVA, VT, also UNC and UMI (we live in VA).  Thought all of these were targets.  Waitlisted at Vanderbilt, rejected at Ivys[/quote]

Wait, who has UNC and Michigan out of state as “targets?”  Those are lottery schools for anyone.[/quote]

NP, but DD had UMich as a target.  4.0 uw, 1580, likely first in her class at a top tier private that sends students to multiple Ivies and other top-20 schools every year.  The UMich scattergram showed almost entirely green checks in the general area (DD is up and to the right of everyone in the UMich data set).  She was deferred from EA, so we'll see.

It wasn't a safety; it was a target.  Just like UVA (where she was admitted OOS).

UNC is a different story just because of the low OOS population (DD did not apply there).[/quote]
