Anecdotal, but I'm hearing the ED results are worse this year across the board.

Although we have athletes getting into Princeton, Georgetown, LACs etc. But it does seem like a very large number of more average students at our private are all getting in ED to WashU.

Seems like WashU is absolutely the right play for ED1 and ED2!

WashU likes the full-pay Ed students.

Hearing great ED acceptances from friends in DC and beyond. Makes me think my DS should ED somewhere next year.

Best year DD's school has had for ED in decades. Already 30/150 students in.

I am furious that UVA accepted less in state kids in ED compared to last year despite higher in state applications. My kid was deferred so moving on

The change was not significant. The incoming class size didn’t get any bigger, so number of apps is irrelevant.

I would say 60 less kids accepted is significant, especially if your kid has been deferred

Nonsense, unhooked with average stats do not get into either school.

Hmm. You’d be surprised at some of the in state Midd stats.

Why? Midd isn't a state school and a tiny percentage of the class is from Vermont.

Most private selective schools have “backyard commitments”.
Look it up.

.

Unhooked average stats kids meaning median stats. So “average” being 1500+ SATs.

Demographic cliff is next year, class of 2027.

It starts with birth year 2008 which is mostly class of 2026 (unless you redshirted your kid).

Class of 2026 os the biggest class.

You can look at historical enrollment numbers of the schools.

2026 is much bigger than class of 2025 and 2027

As do "ok" boys to places like BC and Emory. The ones from our private are B+ students. But they are full pay and well-prepared and most importantly, they are male and will keep the gender ratio somewhat balanced.
Meanwhile as a girl you need an ED GPA that is several points higher.

They probably have better test scores. Boys tend to do better as a group on tests like the SATs

It sure what you are trying to say but let’s roll with it.

There are typically about 100 kids from Vermont enrolled at Middlebury in any given year.

Most are the children of staff at Middlebury or UVM.

A decent number of them attended boarding school.

They at Midd, it is highly unlikely that they are somehow “Midd” candidates. Do you actually anything to back your assertion?

Finally, if Middlebury was actually giving a bit of a break to kids from Vermont who by and large go to rural schools I would say good for them.

Midd is a school?

Tehe.

I thought you meant "midd" as in those grades are midd(ling) mediocre

There is no cliff, it’s a gradual decline over six years that takes us back to 2012 numbers. Internationals will be back in three.

+1 thank you. Not a cliff.
My younger DC is a high school freshman, maybe they will have it the easiest before internationals come back?

Does Midd or are you speculating? Even if it does it’d a very small percentage of the class.
