Chances for Tufts/Wash U/Emory/Vandy?

[Anonymous]

Junior (top 5% at a large area public...almost 4.0 unweighted, high rigor, 1480 SAT) loves all these schools. Extracurriculars are fine (four year varsity sport including captain, club sport, after school job since 9th grade) but nothing exceptional. Do they have a chance ED/ED2 at these schools? Not STEM.

Best chance is ED1. ED2 acceptance rates pretty close to RD.

Pp, adding Vandy extremely unlikely, they have been rejecting higher stat applicants with better ecs even zED1.. Have a shot at the others ED2.

Taking Vandy out, what about the others? Decent shot at Wash U, Tufts, and Emory ED 1 & 2?

Wash U will be the easiest to get in ED 1. It’s location is the least desirable

Good shot at these schools, but no guarantee. I would prob ED1 Emory, ED2 Tufts. Pray for a miracle and have a bunch of RD schools identified just in case.

Why not Rice and USC?

No, sorry, that was a typo. Decent shot ED1 at any of them because all three have an acceptance rate over 30 percent. Chose your favorite. ED2 is possible but much less likely.

Doesn’t want to be in Texas (though liked what they read about Rice)…hated the vibe of USC.

my kid similar profile got in Vandy last year TO (lower scores than ur DC though) - essays were really well done, and teacher references were great - if you can package it up with those, Vandy ED is a real option. Kid absolutely luvs Vandy -

For sure…we are spending the summer visiting only schools with 50%+ acceptance rates. DC has enough reaches…

ED1 Vandy, ED2 Emory. RD the others

They would have a good shot at Emory, Tufts or WashU from our public for ED1/2. Vandy is much harder; even perfect scores are denied ED.

I think Vandy will be the hardest admit.

If your child is at Jackson Reed - has a shot as these schools continue to look for diversity of Urban experiences.
Pick one and apply ED.
