Doesn't matter, if it's a girl she'd still be able to count to infinity twice! When she goes to Rome they'll do as she does.......................... Understand?
My Daughter did not apply for IA either....the online nature of the 1st year is not suited to her abilities. We figured if she didn't get in regular or deferred admission that Community College would be the best avenue. They do have a program that is called PACE as well that they offer to some regular admission applicants that aren't accepted in that manner, but that also relies upon an online period prior to becoming a regular student. A couple of tricks that sometimes helps is to apply for a different semester than Fall (Spring, or Summer) when admissions are not quite as competitive. That didn't help my Daughter, however. We are happy she is at Sante Fe taking all those weed-out courses there rather than at UF, so all is good. My eldest Daughter sounds like yours: rejected by Vandy, but easily sailed into UF as a Freshman. My Son took the hard road: gap year to get his head straight, 4 years of work supporting himself and attending Santa Fe in his spare hours and then transferred to UF. He ended up with the highest UF GPA of any of the family, including me.
Of my 3 kids he is the one that adhered to “the brainwashing” the best. He wouldn’t even consider going to ClownTown. UF is far and away the best school in state for his major too. I’m eager to see him get out on his own. Super independent kid. He will flourish.
There is one thing you need to know to raise a child and that is keep it happy in the “4th trimester” (babies are born with a need for us). That’s why we simulate the womb “shh shh shh”, make it think it’s in the womb “swaddle tight”, and create white noise like it hears in the womb and it was stop crying and won’t be “colicky” for the rest of its life. For the next 6-7 years put him or her in the best places you can afford and from there they are on autopilot. Loving him or her is easy (of course this is for healthy children). Keep them alive and tell them wisdom and have fun. Also never “let them cry” to get used to it. All mine raised perfect and this is all I had to do. If you must read, read Preggars “The 4th Trimester”. It’s brilliant and so dead on. And teach him or her sports! ⚽️ but that’s a special note for Tim. And if Tim happens to read this thread God Bless you and your family.
I cant tell her higher than me...I was Blutarsky...zero point zero. Actually I challenged her but never told her the gpa she had to beat (which she has).
