Many of your are going to think I am a sore loser Mom and overly dramatic, but I don’t care. My kid had a 35 ACT and 1590 SAT and 3.99 GPA. - REJECTED Lots of Leadership experience, runs a student-led program at her school. She wrote stellar essays and has made the top at most of the colleges that she has applied with merit money (mostly state schools) with one exception - deferred at one off those overly holistic schools - you need to visit a million times schools. We are in the Midwest and no one from her school has ever applied or even been admitted into W & L. The Regional Rep never contact us, even after reaching out to him, so I called W&L. I felt like they were selling me. I should have went with my gut. . My older daughter had a boyfriend that went to W&L who encouraged my daughter to apply, said it was like an Ivy, but not a pretentious. Wow, I kind of think they might be. I know many of your feel differently, but I have other children been around teens for the past 10 years. This child is exceptional. She hasn’t had life changing, personal experiences because she is always going straight. I have other kids. I know this one is going places. With W&L, I doubt they even considered students that didn’t fit in their boxes, just want to increase there applicant number and $$$. I am personally in shock and after reading these posts and all your kids accomplishments that were denied (and my daughter not making the top 200 out of 2000). I think this was overly holistic, so you wouldn’t know the game even if you were given the rules. I think you needed to know someone there or perhaps don’t fall into a specific box that you have less of a change than someone else. I think we should start a rebellion against the process that is taking place with kids. It is creating stress, and frankly it is growing more ridiculous each year I’m in it with a child. I’m on my last child. and all I have to say is Thank You Jesus! And right grateful that my older daughter broke it off with her pretentious boyfriend.
