[quote=Anonymous]Most veterans to this forum know this already, but I thought, I would share the results of this year's admission at my kids school.

School is a well rated (but not top) public school in a suburb of Texas. I would say in the top 25% of all high schools in Texas. around 70% white. About 5% Asian.

Class strength around 550

Offers a lot of AP classes. Total NMSF: around 20

Total AP scholars around 100, AP scholars with distinction: around 70, National AP scholars: around 15

School ranks students as per Texas state requirements

This year here is the haul from Private Universities: Students who applied to the top 25 private universities were usually in the top10% of class. Around 60 students or so applied to top 25 private universities

3 students made it to one of top 10 schools. 1 to top 10 LAC.  (1 half Asian-half white, 2 Asian, 1 Hispanic)

Everybody else pretty much got denied or waitlisted

Most of the gifted kids are going to UT Austin.

All top 5 kids got rejected from Harvard and Stanford. All four who got in were in the top 10 ranks of this school. If your school is anywhere close to this profile, I suspect this may be how things may be shaking out at your school too. Just we aware and plan accordingly. Don't be overly optimistic.
