[quote=Anonymous]My DC was basically first Gen college (neither myself nor DH nor any of DC’s grandparents have a bachelor’s, but myself and DH attempted college and have AA degrees) and went to a very low-income title 1 high school, 80% FARMS. Not a magnet school or charter.

DC is white and we are upper middle income. DC had a 1310 SAT (second try), 6 AP classes, most rigorous in every subject but math, and top 3% of the class. DC did a two-season varsity sport all four years and had some local honors in that. Lots of volunteering and over a year of work experience as well. DC got in to 9 of the 10 schools they applied, including the instate flagship and two OOS flagships with merit aid.

However, DC got waitlisted and then rejected at a Patriot League LAC that they toured and interviewed at (each on a separate visit). I suspect that had to do with us requesting financial aid and DC applying regular decision. An article later came out saying that this school in question is very need-sensitive. So be careful about that.

DC was high school class of 2020. My point is that admissions are complicated. [/quote]
