Where do the A-/B+ students go?

We saw those as safeties and VT as a target, but I considered it a solid target. He's also applied to many of the other schools mentioned in this thread and is sitting on a bunch of deferrals.

Is he in at Pitt and Penn State though?

Or is he an engineering candidate and is dealing with steeper odds?

+1. Especially if you are full pay.

Tulane, Wake Forest, SMU, Bucknell, U Miami, Syracuse

Wake Forest doesn’t belong in this group, their acceptance rate is going to be around 15 percent this year.

Then neither does Tulane, which had a 9% admit rate last year.

That’s because Tulane took all but 100 kids through ED and EA. ED acceptance rate is probably over 50%. RD was under 1%. They are totally gaming the system to look more selective. Even worse than Northeastern.

Wake also takes most of its students through rolling ED.

4-5 pages and no OP?

Yes, he is in at Pitt and Penn State. No, not engineering, political science.
