[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its been brutal at sidwell this year... lots of early deferrals and rejections, so far I believe my DDs class has had the following positive results:
1 to Stanford
1 to Harvard
1 to Cornell
1 to Brown
1 to Middlebury
We are waiting for Yale and UPenn early next week, which together take up around 35% of the class' early applicants (around 30 kids between them)[/quote]

You are light on the numbers at Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, and I think Brown.

My DC is waiting for Princeton in Monday, and I think others in the SFS class also applied there. Only 1 to Stanford? Yikes. I know a few kids applied to Wharton, but that admits separate from the College at UPenn. Harvard deferred almost everyone it dodn't accept, so I am not sure how many outright rejections there were. I think one of my child's friends from this class also got into Duke. So nervewracking this early!![/quote]

One early to Stanford isn't bad. They are the stingiest with EA acceptances (lowest EA accept rate) with a lot of slots going to support their massive athletics program.  Being deferred into regular pool is very much the norm for even the strongest candidates.  Legacy status tends not to matter as much either.  The crowding effect at Yale and Penn are a bit concerning, however.[/quote]

Maybe all those posts about the evil college counselors who were being so horrible by trying to "steer people away from applying" to a particular school of their dreams bear some re-examination?  Hmmmmm . . . .[/quote]

They're not evil, just inept. [/quote]

The fault, my dear friends, lies not in low admissions percentages at Ivy League Schools, but in one adult at my child's secondary school.  (Ah, Shakespeare . . . the Bard really has something for all occasions!)[/quote]
