There is no easiest top school. there are easy majors and hard majors. it is much harder to get into Cornell Eng and Cornell CAS than ILR and HumEc Cornell.

Good point.
Cornell Hotel Management is one of the easiest.
CMU ED is one of the easiest but not for College of CS or even Engineering.

It depends on your HS?

Our private can get 4 ED into WashU and 3-4 into Emory…
Usually kids with no shot elsewhere in T25.

It depends ENTIRELY on the high school. At my one child's private school WashU and UVA require a 3.95+ year-in and year-out. They're literally HYP level.
Cornell and Michigan take kids way down the GPA line.

My other kid's private has very little luck with Michigan (requires a 3.95) but gets kids into UVA with much lower grades.

No. UVA is not anywhere close to getting into an Ivy at 21%. The Ivies are 3-5%. And for the kids that get in RD closer to 2%. They are near impossible. Look how many get into UVA in APS or Loudoun or Fairfax. Tons. Ivies virtually nobody.

This. To be unhooked and get in means an amazing kid.

If none are in-state:
ED1 at one of the lower ranked ones that also have lower-end pre-test optional stats like Emory or UVA (even OOS, UVA ED is not too hard).

Emory has a 10% acceptance rate and Emory Oxford has a 12.6% rate. WashU, Georgetown, Notre Dame, CMU all have higher acceptance rates. Georgetown has the lowest test scores as well.

Next time, please read the post you're applying to.

IT DEPENDS ON THE HIGH SCHOOL.

College admissions from Sidwell are not the same as "APS or Loudoun or Fairfax." Sidwell (for example) can have a relationship with Cornell in that Cornell may routinely take kids with a 3.7. However, UVA may say, "uh, no Sidwell, we require your applicants to have a 3.9." This happens all.the.time with private schools.

1 year at UVA Wise -> UVA

You can’t just apply to Wise campus then transfer to UVA as a matter of right. You have to apply to UVA and be offered to do a year at Wise with a guaranteed transfer if you maintain certain grades.

In the former path, it’s the same as transferring to UVA from any other college. You are assessed along with the rest of the transfer applicant pool.

WashU

Emory and Wash U are both relatively easy for ED1, with acceptance rates over 30 percent, but rates drop significantly for ED2.

ED to WashU is easier than Emory

They are literally within percentage points of one another for ED1.

UVA has an oos ED rate of 18 percent, that’s comparable to Vandy, and a difficult admit.

WashU is still higher, it also has a higher overall acceptance rate as well meaning its the easier school to get into regardless of whether it's ED or RD. Ther also have the same test avg now.

Not anymore. We know so many Ivy and T10 alums where that did not work--even with very high stat kids.

Ok Emory mom, in any case, both Emory and Wash U have acceptance rates over 30 percent for ED1, which is double or triple the early acceptance rate of other T25s, making them the easiest admits.
