Did your DC apply to a LAC with ED (or ED1)?

I think it's weird for adults to tell other adults to tell their kids to lower their sights.

On a chat board about college stuff. often to parents who have been through this more than once.

Assume people know what they're doing

But they were not included in numbers. They would be in the CDS though. Anyone who didnt match could also apply RD via QB app and be included via RD numbers. Schools can still classify these students as "questbridge" in communication so be careful not to lump all qb kids as ED kids.

You’re mixing things up. Questbridge match is the number of students who get in early to the college. Questbridge scholars is the general term for anyone who was a finalist.

she's right that questbridge is an application, like common app. In addition to a scholarship program. and some kids apply via QB Ed and some - who didn't match - via RD. And then colleges can report them as they like on the CDS, they usually use ED for matched and RD for others

Strong ECs and recs from a top private.

We’re willing to take a shot in the dark.

I didn’t comment on that. There’s a difference between a Questbridge match and Questbridge scholar.

Great stats for Pomona. ED at Pomona is little weird if not a recruited athlete. Between Pitzer, the majority of its ED admits are pre-read recruited athletes. That SAT should carry you over, though. It is a statistical outlier for Pomona.

Pomona historically hasn't really cared about SAT scores. But agree the rest of the profile looks perfect!

No my DS applied ED to Northeastern. Better odds.
