I have no idea about your background, but you've also gotta realize that wealthier white kids are a dime a dozen fir these colleges. They can be as selective as they want. EVERY kid has exteacurriculars and As in their classes. APs don't mean diddly--every school has them now. Shoot, the median GPA at some suburban schools is like a 3.8. Not saying your niece isn't awesome. Just on paper... there's 1000s of kids with exactly the same profile. It's one of the many reasons why I wish SAT/ACT was required. [/QUOTE]
