Congrats to your daughter! That’s fantastic. Thanks for the positive update!
In a year of difficult admits, it's great to hear that things worked out for your DD. Congrats!!

OP’s kid is not at a private but an OOS public that probably has dozens of kids apply every year. TO. Much tougher admit.

Collegevine gave DD a 78% chance of acceptance. Naviance, based on last year’s data, looked good too. But at her MCPS HS, kids with <4.85 WGPA were outright rejected this year. Same kids would have gotten in last year.
This happened at our W school too. Hoping for better outcomes elsewhere.

We have a junior at W&M who had a 1370 SAT but a lower GPA and only three years foreign language. Had to take two semesters of a ( different) foreign language at W&M.
Your kid has a great shot, I think.

W&M is a reach for most people.
