Congrats! |

This is exactly my child, including showing minimal interest, and she was also deferred. |

Unconditional offers from Royal Holloway, St. Andrews, and Exeter. Conditional offer from Durham. Still waiting on Edinburgh. It's a much less stressful system, I must say. |

I'm from the UK and that is a very impressive list. All strong choices. Exeter and Durham are the most prestigious. Along with Edinburgh. |

Smells like yield protection by Tulane. |

STEM magnet 3.96 unweighed (had 1 B the entire time) More than 10 AP's SAT was a bit low at 1530, one take Published two papers in peer reviewed journals Presented at national and international conferences as an invited speaker (one research project ended up finding sonething significant, pure luck) Won multiple science competitions Accomplished in an art, won regional competitions, performed with professionals in youth opportunities for years, practiced for 15-20 hours weekly, documented Strong essays per multiple readers Not URM or first generation My guess is that with stats like that, there was another kid from the Midatlantic with a similar profile who was picked instead. We just have to apply widely, stats are in range. It is a bummer because Brown has opportunity for her to continue in her art while pursuing her STEM major where Brown excels. Her art field may not be present in her ED2, and it hurts to give it up. It happens. |

PP I just wanted to thank you for being somewhat detailed and less paranoid to post than most. I don't know how helpful it is, but it is interesting to see, thank you. Good luck to your DC, whatever they do. |

I see it as a pretty typical magnet public kid struggle. I suspect that applying for financial aid makes admission harder. Generally top 1/3 gets into selective colleges. As I said, it is obnoxious to apply to all. Wish there was a unified IvyPlus application portal. Seriously |

OP, I'm sorry, I can see why is was her first choice. I wonder if one can transfer into the program. When I was there, a billion years ago, we had several transfers into my concentration (applied math). |

Plus, thankfully for STEM students, public universities offer an excellent option that does not deleteriously affect long-term career outlook. Ivy plus schools are a nice bonus for those kids and do open certain doors, but are not required.
If the kid wanted to write or paint or dance or perform, or if we lived in a region with mediocre in state options, I would be anxious and concerned. In this case, if she gets in she will go. If she does not get in, it will sting, but fundamentally no pathways will be closed (although perhaps somewhat harder to reach). |

She did apply for applied math and biology. She can still technically be accepted into both through the RD route as she was deferred, not rejected. I wish we could connect and ask for advice or perhaps encouragement. |

From the Wall Street Journal:
Early-round apps were up by about 22% at Brown 23% at Penn 29% at Dartmouth 38% at Yale 49% at Columbia 57% at Harvard Cornell doesn't announce, Princeton didn't no EA this year "Test-optional shift, virtual outreach, pandemic anxiety likely all fueled the jump" |
