I don’t know what private that person’s kids attend, but neither BC nor Tufts would be where students at even Sidwell or GDS wind up who have not taken calculus and have SAT scores below 1500.

I agree that this poster is wildly optimistic. My DC has a 3.9/35 from a Big3 and was just waitlisted at BC last week. His friend with a 3.8+ was waitlisted at Tufts. ED at these schools is quite a bit easier but not at the 50%tile if there are no hooks and this is a Big3 school and these kids had calculus.

Take a look at Sidwell matriculation: https://www.sidwell.edu/academics/college-counseling/college-matriculation
There are only very few schools ranked lower than Rochester. You big fat liar.

You're a complete a$$. I'm not lying and you clearly have no understanding of the college process.
My kid was deferred from BC. He has another strong option. He also has received quite a few deferrals from schools at the BC level. If you look at the matriculation list next year you'll only see his strong matriculation. That doesn't negate his deferral from BC.

This would be the very bottom of the class at a private school. Very, very bottom.

This isn't about Sidwell, becasue the kid is not at a Big 3.

But there are plenty of schools ranked lower than Rochester on that list.

ED will be extremely important for a kid like this.

OP asked "where did they end up?" Please try to be helpful!
Waitlisted is normal at a private high school, they don't think they will attend that's why the waitlist. If they intend to attend, a call to AO will remove the WL.

Never had anyone attending these schools at our private. Do they continue to exist?

Yes, this. I kid with those stats from Sidwell is going to see yield protection from strong but not top-tier schools.

Also, use a combination of ED1 and ED2.

Tulane (ED)
Wake (ED) - non stem or business major
SMU - non business
U-Miami (ED)
Santa Clara
Lehigh (ED)

Wake requires a 3.7 at our private and we have grade deflation. I don’t think it belongs on this list.

You can definitely get into BC unhooked without calc and a SAT below 1500. It’s not that competitive.

This is a good list. Wouldn’t recommend stem or business at any of them.

Acceptance rate was 16 percent LAST cycle. This might be possible for a legacy but not unhooked.

There are quite a few schools that aren't that competitive.

Wake rolling ED/ED0.
Make sure you sign your kid up for a summer program right now so you can submit the application on July 1. You should hear back around Labor Day.

If it doesn’t work out, pivot to something else for ED1.
