[quote=Anonymous]Big 3 No T40 admits White 3.8 unweighted 1500 Good ECs; didn’t start a non-profit etc though Won top academic award at school for their particular area of interest (the only one they still have left) Wasted ED/Restrictive on a top 5 in retrospect Got a few targets outside of Top 40. Lessons: choose ED wisely, really go deep on what a target is when making list. the ED lesson is the key one. Regrets: kid wishes they had taken more AP tests (just to show rigor to flagships who care) and wishes they had not wasted applications on top UCs which were basically impossible for most Big 3 kids this year Apply to more OUS schools - UK, Canada, etc. several classmates happily headed out of USA for college where no risk of gunmen on campus, no performative dance on how many non-profits my daddy started for me, and how well I can throw a ball or play water polo.
