[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This morning, I checked the list of Presidential Scholar nominees, and there were quite a few from our school. What surprised me was that the vast majority of the nominated student were not successful in their early decision applications while many others who did not make this list were accepted early to top schools. Maybe just a coincidence, but I wonder if colleges are focusing less on scores (once you hit a certain level) and more on other aspects of students profiles. Any thoughts?[/quote] Knowing that many of the early slots go to legacies and athletes, some kids prefer to wait for the regular round so that they can include senior course load and grades and to have the additional time to work on their essays. My DC, who is on this list, applied SCEA and was deferred, but worked on essays and apps during the break and submitted the strongest applications for favorite schools in the regular round.[/quote]
