[quote=Anonymous]In reading through the Emory, UVA and other threads, I’m speechless about what it takes for a kid to get in these days.  Near perfect SAT/ ACT. 5.0+ weighted gpa.  12+ APs. Six APs in senior year (!).

I’ve read that waitlist activity is expected to be very busy as this admission season shakes out. Is it likely that incoming classes at schools like Emory, UVA and others will end up with classes composed significantly of kids with very high stats, or do you think that actual acceptances and pulling from waitlists will yield classes that are still roughly comparable to years past (i.e., impressive but not necessarily ivy level).

I also wonder if the very high stats kids are balancing out admissions for lower stat or test optional kids that may be underrepresented. Increasing underrepresented students seems to be a focus this year. Understood there is much value in that mission.  I’m just trying to make sense of why, at least based on these boards, it seems to take nearly-impossible stats to get into T25 schools now (particularly when, e.g., average/75th percentile ACT at these schools seems to be about 33 - not 35).
