Two years ago, my NMSF, 3.98/4.5, 1560 was rejected from two ivies and WL at UVA and NEU. [b]CS (engineering)[/b] major. [/quote]

Bingo. [b]No one is surprised[/b].

Also, in case you didn't know, the stats are table stakes. What else did your kid bring to the table?
What was his niche/point of excellence?
And it can't be stats....[/quote]
I bet some people are. [/quote]

If you were surprised, I suggest you get off of this site… The traffic is much less than it used to be anyway. And go read up on the admissions process and the impact of major.

Join some active Facebook groups too. No one should be surprised by that result. In RD males with an engineering or computer science major are held to the very highest standards. Their applications to top schools must be very well thought out, and heavily focused on showing personal qualities.[/quote]
PP. I wasn't surprised. Disappointed but not surprised. Responding to a condescending, know it all, absolute post.[/quote]
