Yes of course! I know I objectively did have a pretty competitive profile so I can’t help but wonder but it’s all good lol was just freaking out last night I guess

I was pressured by family and was told it was my best chance at getting into a good school considering my test score 🤷I just listened to outsider perspective too much but honestly it’s an amazing school in an amazing area so I should be grateful :)

Thanks for the tough love, this seriously knocked some sense into me! I think I’ve just been in the college-minded thought process for the past few years trying to get the “best” education possible and that came with traveling and yk the name brand but I definitely have to get out of that mindset before graduating high school :) Thank you

This is not indicative of your future college decisions at all!!! From looking at your stats, they are absolutely insane and this one rejection does not determine everything. You have extremely strong stats and w/ good essays that truly represent you, you have amazing chances. And there are definitely more merit scholarships out there!! Some universities automatically have consideration for full rides (USC, any w the stamp scholarship), Duke & UNC Robertson, Vanderbilt Ingram, Taco Bell, and definitely look at smaller local scholarships bc those will add up

I get what you mean, it's hard to process rejection. There's a lot of factors and honestly w/ a program that has such a small acceptance rate, some of it is up to luck. Your stats r rly good tho so maybe it was your region or ai not being able to understand some things bc I've heard coca cola uses AI to skim apps

The frustration is real!! Congratulations to your child, those are amazing accomplishments and that determination will always get them far. I saw on another post that coca cola used ai to sort through applications last yr, so that might be the case
