| Other than Legacy/Athlete/URM - any DMV admits at all? Looking at our school, this seems to take up 100 percent of the cases. |

In the early round, expect everything to be taken up this way for DC applicants. RD may open up a slot or two. Maybe. And maybe not. |

Because in wealthy populated areas there are so many Ivy alum with kids in both public and private HSs!! |

| I don't know of a single Ivy admit recently that doesn't fall into one of these three categories. |

| I know a kid who got in who is none of those things. He is finishing up his first semester at Yale right now. He's Asian, too! I don't know his stats as he is a friend, but from what I know he had outstanding academics, national math and science competitions, top musician, etc. It does happen. |

| The only Yale admit from DC’s HS was double legacy. |

| At least one Vienna admit in past 2 years - They were not athlete. I don't think they were legacy. |
