Yep, her test scores probably needed to be above average to offset her “below average/somewhat average” (speculation on my part) GPA. If I were your D’s GC, I’m not sure I would convey anything to the effect that your D is “wasting her time” since they try to keep things optimistic. You may want to check Naviance on the school’s website to see how other kids fared at the schools still under consideration, but keep in mind that her numbers can tend to look in range, particularly if hooked applicants were accepted with lesser stats.
