Message: [QUOTE="Peacefrog, post: 4278004, member: 986"] I have a niece in CT who is just going through the admissions process and I was shocked at what was happening to her. Some of the stuff here at least explains it. Straight A's in high school with a high degree of rigor (8 AP courses with 5's on all the AP tests). 1550 on her SAT. Some extracurricular and ran X-country. Here's what she got: Northeastern: denied admission University of Washington: denied admission University of Virginia: denied admission University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill: denied admission University of Maryland: accepted, no merit aid University of Wisconsin: accepted, no merit aid Boston University: guaranteed transfer admittance after going somewhere else for a year University of Connecticut: accepted, no merit aid George Washington: accepted, $22k/year merit aid I mean, who is getting into Northeastern if a student like this can't?
