Did Not apply to the Ivys?

No. We cannot pay full price and do not qualify for FA.

Question for PP - if you don't mind sharing, which school did your kid choose? And did your kid apply to any other schools that weren't mentioned? The outcomes you listed were very informative as my senior (with lower stats) tries to narrow down the list.
Congrats on such an impressive record.

They aren’t just looking for aid, but a match to UMD.

DC chose one of the schools listed, but I prefer not to say which one. And thank you!
