<p>Please tell your daughter not to worry. My daughter got into GW but was rejected (not even waitlisted) at a school that should have been a safety for her. We were stunned. As we understand it, however, the reason was based on the demographics at the college (too many applicants with similar backgrounds). Several days later, she received the acceptance from GW, which was a goal school for her, and which she preferred anyway. Your daughter may be disappointed now, but she should know that the reasons she did not get in may well have absolutely nothing to do with her as a person or applicant, just with the numbers. Further, as we found out, there may well be something more suited to her waiting for her around the corner. Everything happens for a reason. Best of luck to her and to all who are wait-listed or denied!</p>
