My kid was deferred (OOS) with 1580 (800M) at a top private with a 4.0 UW in all highest rigor courses. Good ECs.

I was surprised but I should have paid more attention to the in state/ OOS distinctions.

1520 SAT rejected 1 B on transcript 14 APs, competitive magnet. Didn’t realize how much of a reach it was when he first applied.

Deferred for CS: 1530 4.0/4.8 MCPS Good ECs

Supposedly 20% of those deferred are offered so we're keeping fingers crossed.

In-state kids with 1500+ SAT, top grades, high rigor are not getting in, despite the more generous in-state admit rate.

In at College of Sciences. Highly competitive FCPS with near perfect stats and rigor. Multiple leadership and national awards in STEM activities.

Does anyone think the rejections of top candidates is greater from privates? I wonder if they are skeptical of all the privilege and awards and internships, so much of which is just paid for. It's so much more impressive when a kid from a public can match the stats. I think that might explain some of the seemingly incomprehensible rejections.

We go to a private with 240 in senior class, at least 2 kids were admitted that I know of out of the 7 that applied. 2 others were deferred. So I don't think that's the case for our private school.

Wow

At this point out of state applicants, especially for CIS/Engineering, are in a lottery for admission. There's that many great applicants for a finite number of spades. My wife's an alum and we have straight out told our son to have zero expectations of going even with a standout application.
