There is no easiest top school. there are easy majors and hard majors. it is much harder to get into Cornell Eng and Cornell CAS than ILR and HumEc Cornell.

Good point.
Cornell Hotel Management is one of the easiest.
CMU ED is one of the easiest but not for College of CS or even Engineering.

Is it possible to apply to Hotel Management at Cornell and switch majors to something else once you are there?

Beyond hard.

And to get in you need some hospitality experience…

We get it you thought Emory was a target school, yet DC still didn't get it in.

Again, Emory has a far higher early decision 1 rate than any other T 25 school. it also take 40 percent of the class test optional, which inflates its average test score.

And again no one specified ED1, OP said the school as a whole. Emory is not the easiest if that's the case. Why not focus on Umich and Uva's 30+% transfer acceptance rates, since you want to nitpick. Only 3k out of 35k apply ED1 to Emory. ED1 is clearly not indicative of Emory admissions. Emory could easily lower the ED1 admissions rate and raise the ED2 rate to have the same effect but instead choose to reward students whom have it as their very first choice. You sound bitter.

Op asked for the easiest route to acceptance at a T25. The answer is ED 1 to Wash U or Emory. Sorry your ego is so fragile that you feel the need to argue against obvious facts.

That's not the easiest route. Transferring to Umich, UVA, Berkeley or UCLA spring semester would.be the easiest. For privates Cornell garenteed transfer, Columbia GS, or Notre Dame sister school transfer would be easiest.

No one is talking about transfers.

Maybe but the stats are the same for Emory and Oxford so I cannot see how the mids get in unless there are also a lot of top of the class.

Dumb question at to which there is an easy answer. None is the easiest. All are hard. Your DC unlikley to make it. And if you can get into one you may or may not be able to get into another. In at a top Ivy and rejected Emory, Duke, WashU, and BC -- that happened last year.

That’s called yield protection.

JHU and Vandy take a higher %age TO, as does Michigan (UCB is test blind).

Wrong. Michigan is 30% test optional. Enrolled Fall 2023: 52% submitted SAT and 18% submitted ACT.

Or the kid had something that some schools wanted and already had admitted to many from the same private HS.....
Happened to my kid. In at 2 T20, WL or rejected at 6 others (both higher and lower ranked).

there's some horrible advice here.
esp from 1 know-it-all poster.

Hopefully the OP knows to do her own research.

Wow, the prestige-chasing is so repulsive.

Many posters here are using unreliable, possibly made up ED numbers.

JHU is going back to test required, so this will no longer be true as of next cycle. Either their test range will drop or it will be harder to get in without a high score.

UVA Engineering, UVA is weak in STEM.

Except, JHU and Vandy's scores pre-test optional were already higher than many test optional schools now. Except test scores to minimally change after they require scores next year.

Do you ever get tired of this harangue? I'm sorry your kid didn't get into UVA or whatever is motivating you to post this nonsense, but for your own health, bashing UVA engineering:STEM whenever you get a chance is not healthy;

1) there is a thing VA offers called Virginia Tech. go there. That's the commonwealth's gift to it's citizens. Very few states have a separate Polytechnic university apart from it's flagship.
2) other universities in VA are becoming powerhouses in stem - on purpose. look at GMU which has a separate campus out of five for high tech. It's newish and has state of the art tech schools including the highly successful cybersecurity major. Also look at the tech offerings at Mason Korea . I know of no other state university that offers so much in tech, cybersecurity, engineering and high tech at Mason Korea. Same with some of the other VA universities that the Commonwealth is pumping money into.
3) 80 percent of all undergrads change their major at least once, which thoughtful parents and advisors know. My DS entered UVA's aerosoace engineering and turned down GA techs' and Purdue's top aerospace engineering programs because he wasn't sure about engineering and because he got into UVA and a year later was a humanities major. Now at Oxford on full scholarship for a DPhil and applying to top law schools .
4) by posts we know you haven't kept up with what President Jim Ryan has done to make UVA a top tech school. Please read up.
