[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in the top 1-2% of her large public high school and has a 1540 SAT (school average is mid 1000) with lots of leadership. She has no interest in attending any of the schools that are considered true safeties and would rather apply to several high targets instead of adding a safety. She applied EA in state to UMD but their acceptances have been so weird lately, that I'm starting to worry that this is a bad ieaa. She's not applying for any impacted majors. Thoughts?

My kid was also top 1-2% public high school, 1560 SAT, great ECs, top rigor and going in with enough DE credits , summer college and AP courses to be a junior. He even took a full summer semester of regular summer college courses at a top institution known for grade deflation (not a high school program, so counts as regular UC courses)-straight As. He did not get in. Lower stat kids or athletes in random sports got in.

He’s very happy at his safety.[/quote]

What colleges did he apply to and was rejected? What was his targets, safeties?[/quote]
