How are Big 3s doing with ED?

Among all other unhooked applicants, the only other ED or SCEA acceptance to a top 35 university was to UVA. The rest (20 or more girls) were deferred by top 35 schools, and many even by schools ranked below the top 35. While I haven’t spoken to college counseling, this is what I’ve heard, and my daughter is part of the deferred group.

It doesn’t sound very promising, but that’s the current picture as I understand it.

I get it as I am a pp above but these schools are made up of hooked kids and families so it is still an accomplishment that they got in. I don’t think they should say they are not hooked though if they are hooked - better to just not mention that at all.

ED has always favored the hooked kids, this is not new. There was a lot of good news in the spring of '24, no reason not to expect the same this year.

Worried about what? Over 30 girls are locked in through ED. HYP admits, along with 4 at Cornell. Lots of non-Ivy strong schools and all this before ED2.

This. It’s normal to get worried but some of these girls shoot for the moon with ED and then have outstanding RD outcomes. Also my very unhooked kid there had a very good outcome from ED so it’s not just hooked kids. Many of her friends were deferred, but they knew they had applied places that were long shots so they don’t seem worried at all.

What do you consider “very unhooked?” Just curious as these things still make one a hook: athletic recruit, board member/large donor (falls under vip hook), legacy, or diverse candidate is a hook.

Yes, we know what hooked means.

DP. I hear about 25% - no way 40% you are wrong. I can think of 20 girls off of the top of my head that are not in anywhere yet.

It is the low GPAs of NCS compared to other schools that is hurting them (except for VIPs and donor kids).

My hooked kid doesn't have a lower GPA compared to kids from other high schools. There is a large contingent of girls (both hooked and unhooked) at NCS who have rather impressive GPAs. Yes, it is tough grading and these kids work hard. But not every hooked kid is getting in with a lower GPA.

NCS went 0/8 at Northwestern. Maret had 6 Northwestern admissions. Something is not working.

How do you know whether the Maret admits were legacy or otherwise hooked? Or stats of NCS applicants?

You can't reason with an irrational person. Don't even bother.

That is very odd I agree that this poster knows exactly how many people applied to a particular school. My child is a senior also at NCS and while I may know of a few that are applying to certain schools, there is no way I could know EVERY single person applying to a particular school nor could my child unless she was that nosy to ask every single girl in the class where they were applying and keep a tab. The info is not on SCOIR yet for this year so there is really no way to know and the CC is not telling anyone how many applied and how many did or did not get admitted at this point.

Also I am the pp directly above - curious are you saying 0/8 - were they all rejected or deferred - there is a big difference between the two.

How do you know the gpa's of all kids from other high schools? Generally curious.

2024-2025 info is not in naviance or scoir yet and each school has its own sign in private info?

Maybe the poster is a cc at one of these schools…

There is a lot of naviance info on the internet from multiple college search sites -- albeit self-reported. But looking at this and CDS info from the last few years, it's easy to see what the average GPA is at most schools. This isn't rocket science.
