Flagship is UVA.The schools were not ivy but rather top 20 schools with lower admit rates than UVA. Student was in top 3 of class at competitive HS. It happens.

Miami, I am very happy for your D, but one of the points made in this thread is that not every student with high stats gets merit aid. D’s stats far exceeded the middle range for admitted students at her school and she got nothing. I am OK with that because others need it more, but I am just saying…

As for the statement made to me regarding finances, it was unsolicited.
