My DD was rejected after an EA deferral two years ago. It was her first choice and there were so many tears. She is also very happy where she is. Hugs to all.

Rejected. Makes me (and perhaps him) feel better to know that he could have been better than 95% of the applicants (to MIT!) and still not have gotten in.

Have your DD apply EA and have fantastic responses to the short essays. Both matter.

My DC from magnet was waitlisted for Caltech over the weekend and is hoping he would get into MIT. What does waitlist for Caltech mean, and chances of getting in? His dream school is MIT.

Can people share stats of their DC awaiting acceptances today for MIT?

DS accepted! So happy for him, was his dream school. Any questions, happy to answer.

Congrats to your DC!! Indeed an achievement! Please share some stats. My DD is a junior applying to MIT hopefully early next year

My older son was WL in Caltech 3 years back and then accepted. He also got RD into Princeton which was way better for him.

Congrats! Has your son sent anything to Caltech to help him get accepted from WL?

I was really hoping for good news today. But knowing my son, he’s not going to tell us about the rejections until he gets in somewhere exciting or has heard back from everywhere (he’s in at some good public universities, but we’re waiting on the more competitive schools.)

URM or Asians?

…ridiculous of you to feed the troll…automatically assuming these selective schools are filled with URMs, when all you have to do is go review the make up of the student body…but if it lets you sleep better at night to think URMs are taking your child’s spot, go ahead..

I was thinking the same. Stop this nonsense, People. It stinks when our kids don't get in, but let's not try to make a scapegoat here. Top schools could fill their classes many times over. They chose who they want. It is not an indictment on your kid or the process.

Very sorry. Hugs to your kid.
