The ones I know are not going to LACs. Some LACs are just as hard an admit as Ivies. The kids I know who applied to LACs didn’t apply to Ivies and vice versa.

The ivy rejects - your word- are going to less highly ranked universities or state flagship

Does go to community college.

The reality is that bottom-tier Ivies will get your kid the same outcomes as other T25s. Choose based on fit.

More stealth digs! Or maybe ignorance?

I'm not sure if most end up at the state flagship, but mine did. It makes total sense, financially. Other than the T15, it doesn't make much financial sense for most people for their kids to go to T15 below for that much money.

If one has money for T15, there there are still at least 15 more schools equally worthy of that money.

A very high percentage of students going to T20 universities get in during the ED/SCEA round. If an applicant doesn't get in during this stage, where they end up is largely a matter of luck. The Regular Decision acceptance rate for elite schools is abysmally low. So more often than not, the state flagship is the likely outcome for Ivy rejects. Students that want to go to Ivy League universities generally do not want to go to SLACs. State flagships, particularly honors programs with merit, are the logical fallback schools.

And the people listing Notre Dame, WashU, OOS Michigan, Emory and similar as some kind of back-up for those rejected from Columbia and Brown are wildly out of touch with the reality of college admissions today.

Give the thousands and thousands of students who are rejected from ivies every year, I imagine the places they end up really run the gamut.

Inaccurate response. Ivy rejects are not getting in Northwestern, Georgetown, U Penn, and UNC as a non-resident; they may, but it is far from common.

Many EA or ED Ivy rejects look to the schools which offer a second round of ED (ED II); such schools tend to be LACs.

UVA and Georgetown are chock full of ivy rejects -

My kid only applied RD to T10s and T20s and got into 2 Ivies, Hopkins. RD was like 3% at the Ivies.

I think this year was different though. WL moving more.

This is such a mean thread. "Rejects". Would you want your kids to see this with your names attached? Your parents? Your employers or your neighbors? This is gross.

Depends on the region of the country and the high schools I suppose. There are the rare unhooked kids who get into multiple ivy/T10 in RD(one this year from the top public, one last yr from the top private) and there are about a dozen from our area each of the last 3 years who applied but did not get into any ivy/T10 but are going to WashU, Amherst, ND, Vanderbilt, OOS unc-ch, Ucla, Emory, Berkeley and more. Others end up instate UVA as Echols or Rodman scholars. It happens all the time.
