<p>Thank you for the kind words CLS. I was ignorant to how this all works. I just thought it every quantifiable statistic put you in the top 10-20% of applications, it would be impossible to get turned down or wait listed at 5 different schools.</p>
<p>Well we are one school from a wait list sweep, but we’ll be looking at bunch of other schools with rolling admissions this week. My daughter just has to broaden her horizons and forget about an all girl school.</p>
<p>And probably forget about going northeast too, which I am totally cool with.</p>
<p>VADAD1, I’m so very, very sorry for your daughter and for you. Maybe it’s too soon because not all the decisions are in yet and you all are still reeling from the blows, but maybe the one area, ECs, in which you said your daughter was weak is the one thing she could really work at during a gap year. All the rest of her application sounds stellar. Have her explore all kinds of opportunities to show how well rounded she is and what leadership abilities she has, etc. Clearly she’s got the brains; maybe she just needs to demonstrate what she can offer campus life. Just a thought. Good luck!</p>
<p>Carlolyn, I appreciate your efforts to make me think I am wrong. I assume you think that would make me feel better.</p>
<p>I actually feel better thinking she didn’t get in because of money, rather than something she didn’t do, because she worked her ass off to be the kind of student she is.</p>
<p>And since the Dean of Enrollment said point blank that is the final cut for students "near the bottom of the pool’, I am going to go with that theory.</p>
Good luck!</p>
