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

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

Noticed this at our private too, though. For Midd, not CMU.

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

.

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

Lots of kids get in TO from our school.

So many deferrals and rejects this year. Feels like ED2 is a must, or else will be hopeless in RD.

57 fewer kids/5108 total applications = 1.1%

There could be any number of reasons they didn’t choose PP’s child. And there is no way to know if he would be in the next 57 admits.

The results have been wonderful at our private for women's colleges: Barnard, Smith, etc.

Looks like more are in ED this year compared to last at our private. So far a little less than 20% of the class has announced and I expect that to rise over the next week.

Yes, I don’t think anybody will get in anywhere.

We'll know this week. Harvard and Yale and Brown swing a lot.

Things we've seen so far: Georgetown, Midd, Williams, Princeton have all been in line with previous years. But our school always does well with first three and not great with last one (other than questbridge, already had a couple QB to Princeton and MIT)

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).

That’s news to all the 2007s Sept-Dec current seniors.

+100 not red-shirted, on-time 2007

+1000

It REALLY depends on the quality of kids who apply to a school like Princeton and this varies immensely by year. Last year our private had 5 kids apply who were all in the top 10, max rigor, close to perfect (or perfect) test scores and legacies. 4/5 were accepted. This year there were a few (frankly delusional) long-shots and no legacies. 0 admitted.

PP - our school, the Princeton kids who have a yes by Christmas are legacy or questbridge. There may be one unhooked in RD, but that same kid will have MIT or Harvard etc in hand too. Just very tough. They really like legacy, even more than harvard.

They are one of the only Ivies still test optional so I expect they got even more applicants this year.
