[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rejected for all ivy's for CS. Par for the course. 4.4 GPA (3.9UW), 1550 SAT single sitting. 12 APs- all 4s and 5s. College math through Calc 3 taken with As. Tons of incredible ECs in CS and athletics.  Teachers and counselors said they raved. White male. Full pay.

Looks like he will be attending his 14th choice of college.  He never felt he "deserved" anything- he is a gentle soul-  but having been at the top of the class his entire life and working so hard and spending months on these applications, he is very quiet today, processing it.[/quote]

Somewhat similar for DD's BFF: 4.0 u/w GPA in most rigorous classes, 1580 SAT, 2 800 SAT subject tests. No APs offered at school (see sundry threads on why rigorous independents do not offer APs). Good ECs, HS athlete/captain. Great writer. Full pay.

WLed @ Cornell, Duke, Harvard. Rejected @ Brown, Northwestern, Penn and Tufts. Most likely UVA or WashU.

Love this kid. Also hard to see when a couple kids in @ a few of the schools are enrolled in less rigorous classes, but do have connections.[/quote]

At least you got WL, my DS is the same same as yours with national awards and incredible ECs and rejected by them. [/quote]
