[quote=Anonymous]Check your school scattergrams. Our competitive public in Massachusetts usually has a few kids getting into Harvard each year, and another handful getting into other Ivy League, and maybe another 10 getting into T20. Other schools have more I think. Not many go to Stanford tho unless athletes. Unfortunately the scattergrams don’t show who are athletes, who are legacy, who are donors, etc but word usually gets around and kids know. Maybe a dozen amazing unhooked kids do win the “lottery” each year, but dozens more amazing unhooked kids do not. You have to know your child’s tolerance for risk, and willingness to go to a lower target school in RD if ED1 and ED2 (don’t forget that possibility for Tufts, which is also a fantastic school esp for premed) don’t go their way.[/quote]
