[quote=Anonymous]Kid at big 3. Not saying these kids have any more grit or are any more deserving than anyone else.
That said, there is nothing wrong with parents and students  trying to ascertain the situation in a changing landscape. It’s hard to figure out and those who are using same assumptions as even those a few years ago are finding different results. It can be very disappointing. 
What’s most impt is for people to understand it so they can plan according.
If it were me and I had those stats - which seem very impressive - I would find a non-ivy but still top school to ED too - whether it be Williams or Uchicago or wherever and I’d have an EDIi ready. It seems the most disappointed kids are ones who shot too high in early rounds and ended up in a really hard RD landscape. To be clear, these kids will be fine in the world. But if one is optimizing for the best college outcome - from a pure rankings perspective (again not saying that’s what one should do but was premise of question) then I’d learn love something without Ivy on the name.
