Dude, we aren't aiming for those schools! The school that graduated the CEO of Apple will do fine.
OK, if your claim is pertaining to the 100th best school in the country, sure.

Let me put it this way, on top of all the AP and Honors classes, she has gotten 5 perfect scores on her essays this year in AP English......no one at her school has ever done that. Trust me when I say, she will get into wherever she applies, the only question is how much scholarship money is going to be offered.
You naïve little man.

My first daughter got into UGA. That's a tough school to get into these days.
My second daughter had better grades and test scores, but she couldn't get into UGA. Fortunately, she had offers from many other good schools.
Of course, she also had an offer from Auburn, but everybody gets an offer from Auburn.

Reporting scholarship offers someone received but didn't accept doesn't make sense to me/comes across as somewhat vain. Schools should report and celebrate the scholarships used/accepted.

Yep. We just did a college tour a few weeks ago, and that was explained. Outside of Ivy League schools, I'm certain my kid would be accepted by any university that she applied to. She's almost ran out of AP classes to take. Next year, she's taking AP Chemistry and AP Physics and I forget what the other AP classes she taking, and have already taken. She just took the ACT a couple of weeks ago and said it was easy. Looking very forward to seeing that first score.
My parents probably said the same about me and I went on to graduate with a 2.X GPA
Turned out ok in the long run though so there’s that.

People do this to get them listed in the graduation program. I knew someone who applied tonal these rotc scholarships and didn’t have one real thought about actually doing rotc. It was a way to say, hey I got $4m in scholarship offers on graduation day.

That's just the out of state fees for Ole Miss for 4 years.

Depends on what you call a scholarship offer. I had full tuition + fees at any state university through TOPS (this is not impressive) plus a stipend. I only accepted TOPS at one, but if I wanted to add up the value of TOPS at every other school in the state it would be in the millions of dollars.

Yep... if you only knew. My first marriage was based on looks alone. The curse of being a young heterosexual male. The "interview" process for the second Mrs. Goose went way beyond physical appearance. But still very important. Let's just say, my baby momma wasn't exactly a Mensa candidate. She's the type that laughs at a joke 3 minutes after the punch line. Remember the hour glass that Windows used when it was buffering? That describes her perfectly. I can't take credit for that. Stolen from her doctor that got passed on to me.

OK. I'm not sure what you're even arguing now. Your daughter is going to get into Auburn. What's the question?
