Did your child’s ED submission get blown (not admitted)

[Anonymous]

If so, to what school and what would you do differently?

Please don’t answer if your child’s ED was a success or ED wasn’t used.

Penn. Should have realized from the tour guide, that filling multiple boxes such as 1st generation, Hispanic, single parent, Jewish household (her self description) was more important to Penn than 3rd generation legacy.

It’s OK their loss when someone else gets the Presidential library.

I feel like Penn is correct that kids who check those boxes make a better freshman class than a bunch of 3rd generation legacies.

What a joke. I’d rather admit that tour guide over your legacy kid as well. Why should your kid get any bump at all?

Or maybe, despite your child's legacy status, they just weren't that good?

They could probably sense the entitlement and said no thanks.

Northwestern ED1 (rejected) and Vanderbilt ED2 (rejected)

Would do nothing differently. A small sigh of relief in that we won’t be paying crazy tuition (DC got a merit scholarship to an OOS flagship). DC is happy with their choice.

This post is so obnoxious. Your really donating a library?

VA Tech ED for Engineering. In the 50-75% range for grades and SAT for Engineering, but no special boxes to check and from a FCPS. Deferred and then waitlisted. DC didn’t want a private school, so not sure where else it would have been used.

Even worse. They are saying Penn won’t get the kid’s presidential library after they serve. Gag …

On the bright side you didn’t contribute to the Penn president’s $23M salary.

Shocked, SHOCKED that their child wasn't accepted.

ugh -- this is our fear/dilemma. VaTech should practically be a safety for DS and he likes the school - I just never imagined he'd need to use his ED on it. And even then maybe not accepted. yuck. Sorry for your kid.

+1. Northwestern is nothing but a stress bomb

Dartmouth deny in ED. Should have paid attention to how they are trying to reinvent themselves.

This is fake. If you were really going to do a library you know to do it in conjunction with the application.
