2009: I'm the Vale this year. So far I've gotten into Duke and UF (full ride) and I've been waitlisted by UChicago, Williams, and Amherst. I'll have more to add to the list at about 7pm tomorrow.
2008: University of South Florida (Full Ride through medical)
2007: University of South Florida (Full Ride through medical)
2006: Duke
USF and UF take alot of our top students. FinAid is very generous in Florida.

| This process is hurting my head
my daughter the 2009 Val at her school
accepted Wellesley, Whitman, Lewis and Clark
waitlisted, Bowdoin, Middlebury, and Williams
two other kids from her school got into Williams. She has a 4.062 GPA, taking every AP course available at her school, speaks German without an accent having spent every other Summer of her life there. She is the yearbook editor, played Volleyball, and skied cross country. She grew up in Aspen and is an amazing downhill skier. Her ACT, SAT scores were in range, to top of the range for verbal. She is 100% self motivated. Middlebury admissions knew exactly who she was when we called without grabbing a file, and encouraged us to send in more "stuff". She had her heart set on Bowdoin so did not visit Middlebury, but at this point has more interest in Middlebury. I am sure it will work out for her no matter what she does, but a little discouraging not to get one of her top choices.

Not to belabor this point, but really, secret asian man, you do not get accepted 'to' a school. I'm sort of a grammar geek (!); also I teach AP Lang and Lit. You get accepted 'into' a school.
| I doubt that this personal pet peeve is agreed with by any of the most authoritative English grammar reference books. Cambridge Grammar of English - Cambridge University Press | |
