[QUOTE=LuBee]That's if you can get into an Ivy. My daughter did all the right things, had 2300 out of 2400 on her SATs, took all APs this year, straight As, has her Girl Scout Gold Award, is a Lt Gov in Key Club, her high school's most distinquished student, mock trial, raises funds for the Childrens Specialized Hosp, is an artist that went to Gov school for the arts, and the list goes on and on. Yet she was wait-listed or rejected at Ivys she applied to. The competition these days is HUGE. One Ivy admits to giving extra weight to certain areas that my daughter doesn't fit into, such as alumni connections, athletics and minority.

Minority? That is rubbish! So people outside can get in before the majority of people? Doesn't that make you mad? Sounds like your daughter should be a shoe in for an IVY.
No offence to any miniorities.
