It’s f*ing brutal….my daughter got branched yesterday…she’s crushed. Goes to a large regional hs in New Haven county with a tremendous reputation and tons of kids just like her can’t get Storrs. The 3.8, 7 APs, 2 sport captains, etc….
Almost makes me wish we never moved for the “better school district “ and just let her be the rockstar of a one
This won’t make you feel better, but it was definitely easier to get into Storrs from out of state. My kid had very similar credentials as yours. I think UConn uses the branch system to the detriment of Connecticut kids. The branches, especially Stamford, are a nice option, but it’s not the same as a main campus.
I know some kids were waitlisted. Is it possible to get called up to UConn depending on how many kids accept? With so many applicants from so many kids applying to so many schools, UConn (like every school) is going to get a lot of declines.
We’re in NJ. My daughter got waitlisted at Rutgers. That never would’ve happened in the past, but they got 67,000 apps this year because they went common app for the first time. She wouldn’t have gone, but it was a slap.
Good luck with everything. We know your pain.
