[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m this poster:

“My kid has 1590/4.0 top rigor (school doesn’t weight or have AP classes but took three APs 5/5/4). I think essays show kid’s strengths, ECs are strong but not amazing. White, not legacy or big donor. Deferred at Yale early. College counselor says if kid doesn’t ED2 at UChicago there’s a strong likelihood of ending up in RD only having options at a large public or a school that’s a lot lower ranked than kid’s hoping for. Is college counselor being overly conservative? Kid likes Chicago well enough but would prefer HYSPM”

In answer to questions, high school doesn’t rank. Kid has 4.0, so no one has a better average, but I think there are approx 20 other kids who do too. High school is most selective/rigorous in our non dmv city. Used to send lots of kids to ivies; these days, it’s one or two a year each to HYPSM. [b]No one got in early to Yale, Harvard, or Princeton this year, which is unusual for school[/b].[/quote] [b]This seems to be the case at all top DMV privates this year as compared to class of 2024. Only 3 Ivys at our school and 2 were legacy, compared to about 12 last year early (still mostly legacies). Seems like a harder year all around in ED.[/b] Will see how it pans out in RD.[/quote]

THIS. It was a horrible ED/SCEA round at our top private. Outside of Cornell, the only Ivies were a couple of legacies and 1 sports recruit. Otherwise the school went about 0/20.  This is in marked contrast to prior years.  [/quote]
