Ugh. My daughter is just sick to her stomach today, expecting a rejection 
. She’s already told us not to try to console her (apparently, we are never to utter “UVA” ever again if she isn’t accepted.) Her application is as strong as some of the others here, great GPA, Varsity athlete, good scores, leadership and service roles, black belt, Model UN, etc., but the way the world is now, it might not matter. Her current condition:
accepted EA: Macalester
Jury’s still out: UVA, Wellesley, Smith, William & Mary, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, UMass Amherst, UConn, Brown.
She doesn’t have a “hook,” beyond her Aspergers diagnosis (which I’m not sure even qualifies as a hook but some universities are at least doing lip service to neuro-diversity initiatives). I guess we’ll see.
