Somehow I do not like the use of these words here: “UA as her safety…the last resort to fall back on…at least get the scholarship from UA…score is much better now, they think she deserves more.”
Let us discuss the other aspect of OP’s question that has nothing to do with the relationship.
It is as if UA is not good enough for her.
Also, if what have been posted are all she has, to put it bluntly, she is likely not in the league of “Harvard girl.” Wait…I have to take it back (at least a little bit.) I am not totally sure about the correctness of my statement here because maybe the US elite schools indeed give international students more credits when they have a very good SAT score (because it could be more challenging for them to achieve, say, 2400 (or is it now back to 1600 maximum score again?)) But for domestic students, the US elite schools demand much more than just scores and GPAs.
The “problem” I have here is that the parents of OP’s GF (and maybe even OP) seem to think thevUA honor program is still not good enough for their daughter (just because she now has good scores.) I really think this is a little bit too unrealistic view (unless OP could list her EC achievements to convince me otherwise.)
I do not think anyone here would think mom2ck’s kid is not good enough and deserves a better place just because he went to the honor college at UA!
