<p>My D was: ACCEPTED</p>
<p>Stats:
•SAT: 2100 740 CR / 620 M / 740 W
•SAT IIs: Lit 730, US History 650, Spanish 470 (yea, I told her not to take that one)
•GPA: 4.0 / 4.085
•Rank: 7/224
•Other stats: US History – 5 without taking an AP class (school didn’t offer AP classes until this year). Has never had anything but an A on a report card since, well, ever.</p>
<p>Subjective:
•Essays: Brilliant. Showed how she’s had to deal with drastic changes in her living situations in the past and how they prepared her to move half way across the country to attend college.
•Teacher Recs: The one I saw was excellent, had three other teachers fighting to write letters.
•Counselor Rec: Not so much. New counselor to the district did not know my daughter at all, and was not comfortable writing a letter, so instead we submitted extra teacher recs.
•Hook (if any): First generation college, coming from a small rural yet highly competitive school. Well rounded EC’s, but not too much that she didn’t have time to be a kid. Brown was her one and only Ivy choice. The others just didn’t match her personality.</p>
<p>Location/Person:
•State or Country: Kansas
•School Type: Public
•Ethnicity: ¼ Hispanic/ ¾ caucasion
•Gender: female</p>
<p>Other Factors: Dark and twisted sense of humor, she’s referred to by friends and family as the Gothic Cheerleader.<br>
General Comments: Now mom just has to figure out how to pay for this.</p>
