How about this, tell us your kid's stats and we will tell you if it is possible.

+1. Much faster. Give us your kid's stats as well as what state they are in and what type of school they are attending (public, independent, parochial). We will chance them.

M or F
Interested in STEM or nonSTEM
The stats are high enough…no college cares about a 1600 vs a 1560.

If M and non-STEM, competitive at any school.

There is no such thing as Exceptional ECs…there are “real” ECs like competitive debate and BS ECs like Honor Society. Tons that are in between at which a kid can do exceptional things even though the EC is nothing unusual.

agree, major and gender matters.

White, cisgender male interested in CS? Those stats may not be enough.

DS didn't apply in last year but fairly recent. Stats perfect. High test scores, both leadership and follower ship whatever was required , dedicated activities with good performance. Did EA at an ivy, didn't ED anywhere. Got into 4/10 T25, he applied to but not where he did EA.

Niece did this year, similar resume, actually even more competitive and more awards , didn't get into any T25, even not her EA.

Its a crap shot. I say do ED, don't waste your shot on EA, unless you are under or overprivileged, doesn't work for middle class.
