<p>cptofthehouse, thanks for the advice and encouragement. Being the eternal pessimist that I am, I would be very surprised if she got admitted. I brought her up to think that there are lots and lots of bigger fish out there, and there is no need to compete with all the other big fish.
You may find it interesting that a private GC, the kind that you pay so that they can package and present your child to the Ivies, actually called us to offer her services for free. She claims to be a former Ivy admissions officer, and has just started this business. She has had a few successes...a Stanford, Yale and UC...but apparently wants to work with a stellar student...her words not mine...
I think that I am going to prove to the GC that not all Asian parents will do anything to get their kids to the Ivies. I will tell him that we turned the offer down. On the other hand, maybe I should live up to the expectation. :)
BTW, the private GC is Caucasian.</p>
