My son's friend, 3.7 weighted, both parents and at least one grandparent attended, test optional: accepted.

3.9 UW, TO. Highest rigor for private high school. Strong community engagement.

I would be more interested in hearing one example of a kid with strong academics who is full pay and got rejected. I doubt it exists.

Money and fill-pay is the hook of hooks after or along with legacy.

What are odds of full-pay legacy boy from west coast rigorous private with a 3.5, no honors or APs getting in ED? Legacy girl from our school just got in ED as an athlete, great leadership skills, good grades, but no academic rigor (except high school itself is rigorous).

Full pay
Boy
West coast
Legacy

Pretty good chances. I’d go for it. Best shot is ED.

I haven’t seen it in ED, but a few kids I know from our private with the high stats got rejected in RD last year. Bates is not a safety.

This is a great year to apply to small LAC up north. So many kids want the south that kids who may not have gotten i are getting in and will receive a top notch education. Win for everyone!

It's much harder to get in RD than ED. Don't they fill half their class - or close to half - during the ED rounds?

My data is 2 years old but in case it helps: Accepted ED with 3.8uw/4.5w at a DMV public school. TO because even at Bates (which has been TO for decades) the pandemic has pushed up average test scores. Not an athlete.

Bates appears selective but this is all yield management. They know when a kid isn’t serious. The school’s endowment is very low vs peers. It’s very much need aware. It’s a much easier admit vs Bowdoin and Colby (if full pay).

Bates filled **81%** of their class with ED last year. It’s such a ridiculous stat that our head of college guidance couldn’t help but giggle in his presentation. So yeah, not a safety in RD for anyone.
