<p>So sorry to hear about your dd 
</p>
<p>It was a tough year for the AC, much more competitive than in years past…34,000 applicants for 2,650 spots. </p>
<p>The appeal is rough odds, which is why I’m wondering if it’s worth it. My dd had a great interview and did the USC Summer Seminar program last summer so she knows something of what she’s missing. </p>
<p>I talked with her after school and she’s really considering appealing. If that’s unsuccessful then she’ll follow the same path as your dd. A strong year at MSU in their honors program and then try to transfer.</p>
