About 1/3 got accepted and were committed to their ED/REA/ED2/EA schools.
About 2/3 remain for the RD round. Based on year to year historical data, about 1/3 of T20 spots are taken in the early rounds. About 2/3 remain for RD applicants. Far fewer top LAC spots are taken in the early rounds. Top 10 LAC acceptance will come out in the RD round. There is one ED2 Middlbury acceptance. |
This is very, very different than the results in recent years from the Big3 DC school that my child attends. The have literally been a small handful of RD top20 school admits each year. |
I've had boys school and girls school kids (currently a fresh and soph). The boys all talked about their apps and they were very honest about it. I know because if my son would come home and say "X, Y and Z are applying to school A" then he'd come home and say that X and Y got in and Z did not and then X and Y would matriculate to the school and then next thing I'd hear was boy Z was applying to college B. I wasn't following things exactly but from I could tell it always tracked. The boys were not in the business of keeping much secret at all and they weren't playing games. In contrast the girls kept it all very quiet. My daughter knew where her 2 closest friends applied but that was it. |

Seems like most of the strongest female students at DC's private went all in on ED and/or REA/EA/ED2 and are committed now to college already. They did not want to risk RD rounds.
The males seemed to have used ED/REA for only their true top reaches and seem fine with taking on the higher risk of waiting for full info at RD round. |
DMV privates are very unique in this regard. What is the overall percentage of students accepted into T20 and top LACs? |
++ |
yes ED is more popular with girls at DS's school too. they want to lock something down early and sometimes have gone down a level in ED or ED2 to do so. the boys seem ok flirting with disaster. |
Big3 send around 30% to T20, another 15% to top lacs. About 80-90% of these got accepted in ED/REA. Almost no one got accepted in RD. |
Well, it’s not quite the same, because girls are generally stronger applicants so admission is more competitive: they should be using ED more. |
This is bullshit! GDS this year have only about 10 T20 ED/EA acceptace. |
| One Tufts and one William and Mary |
This is true and as a GDS parent in 10th, the results are very worrying. Worst year ever. |
Wait for the RD results. |
our non-DMV progressive school is having the worst early year in more than 5 or 10 years. No one understands what is happening. |
| only the girls are doing well! |
