It definitely does not. Two schools, Emory and Wash U, have ED1 acceptance rates double or TRIPLE OR MORE other schools in the T25.

yes it does. for the 100th time.

WashU requires HIGHER stats from our private than a half dozen schools ranked higher. It doesn't matter what WashU's national acceptance rate it, it matters which students it takes FROM YOUR SCHOOL.

They routinely require a 3.95. Duke will take kids in the 3.8s. Cornell will go down to 3.7. FROM OUR HIGH SCHOOL. Your school is probably different. Every school is different.

Clearly your kid goes to Wash U. Sorry this is upsetting for you.

I think there are two issues at play:

1. What T25 school accepts kids with the lowest stats during ED vs. RD
2. What T25 school accepts nearly everyone ED that has stats at X or above

Perhaps, WashU is statistically harder in Example 1 if you have a 3.8 vs. Duke.

However, WashU may be statistically much easier in Example #2 if you have a 3.95 vs. Duke

Your private sounds not very gcompetitive because Wash U regularly takes kids not in top 20 recent of class from our private if they apply ED1.

Why is everyone picking on WashU and Emory??

I feel like their "stock" is rising - less nerdy and grinder than other T25, especially if you are not business, CS or premed?

This actually is likely demonstrable false. Wash U takes 35 percent of kids ED1 and Duke takes 11 or 12 percent. There is no way Wash U has a more competitive applicant pool than Duke. You are likely looking at stats that include hooked kids at one school but not the other, and it sounds like your high school doesn’t do well placing kids at top school or you are fibbing.

No one is picking on them, they just have unusually high ED1 acceptance rates compared to peer schools.

You are being incredibly dense.
Have you seen the 4 year SCOIR data from our school? No. I am telling you, WashU has required a higher GPA for each of the past 4 years than Duke or Cornell have. This is among unhooked applicants as the hooked are removed from Scoir. I don't care what the national admission rates are.

NP.
Our CCO office told us to ignore national admission rates btw. So T25 universities just don't like our kids and some T25 LOVE them. So look at your school's data strategically.

First, WashU's ED1 and ED2 combined acceptance rate is 25%.

2nd, if WashU accepts basically all 3.95+ GPA kids that apply ED and accepts almost none 3.8...but Duke accepts a much higher %age of 3.8 kids ED and rejects a much higher %age of 3.95 kids (compared to WashU)...then in fact the 3.8 kid would correctly take their shot at Duke vs. WashU.

Conversely, the 3.95 kid (who I guess wants certainty of attending a Top 25 school) would pick WashU.

I guess PP knows these facts for their school.

Ok so if a T20 schools is admitting 7% of a private high school's in RD (and not the "top" kids in the class either) - does that mean that the T20 views the HS as a feeder?

And relatedly, should we take the admissions data that the school gave us (how many admitted in 2024, and over last x years) and run analysis on it to find the trends?

Duke and WashU look for different things in kids.
And WashU yield protects in RD....

Sometimes you have to look at the nominal numbers vs. %ages. If your private school has 125 kids in a graduating class, and they are admitting 9 or 10...then yes.

If your school has 50 kids then 1 kid can move the %ages by 2%.

Sounds like kids from your school aren’t applying ED1. There is no question that WashU and Emory become much more selective for ED2 and RD. Or you are just a parent of a kid at Wash U who is triggered by this thread.
