<strong>Subject:</strong><br />trying to make sense of SIP failure<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Our daughter didn't have a great rush. With a 3.7 GPA, she fell victim to a grade cut on day one. In the end, she was left with a "top" house ["A"] she really wanted and a house she continued to cut but they kept inviting her back ["B"]. Because she only wanted "A", she pref'd them #1 without a #2 (i.e. SIP) with our encouragement. To be sure, she understood it was house "A" or bust. She simply didn't feel house B was a good fit. Long story short, she didn't get a bid from house "A". As I understand it, house "A" met their quota before reaching her on their list, i.e. she didn't rank high enough on house "A's" list. Is there any scenario in which she would have caught a bid for house "A" had she pref'd house "B" as her #2?
