[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1580, all As, 4.94 weighted, all 5's, highest rigor, rejected[/quote]

How does a kid with this of rigor and stats not make it… unreal. 
Poor kid.[/quote]
Please folks, spread the word next year: unhooked top stats suburban kids are wasting an application applying SCEA. Forget about HYPSM and use your ED1 card; it’s the only one you’ll get.[/quote]

this has always been true, though. Early is for institutional priorities. Ivy roadmap and Admitium and Tineo talk about this.
Your kid will do better in RD.

Mine did.
Deferred T10, in at Ivy in RD.
Deferred T20, in at T10 in RD.[/quote]
No, it has not “always been true” in the sense that acceptance rates crossed a threshold 5-10 years ago. Before that, it made a certain sense for a top unhooked suburban kid to apply because they still had a slice of spots. Now that acceptance rates are largely cut in half, that slice of spots is gone and the odds are qualitatively different. The vast majority of top unhooked kids have a 0% chance of acceptance now at SCEA. At least 10 years ago, the majority might have had a 5% chance.[/quote]
