[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The accepts at bowdoin and middlebury in ED1 and Ed2 had a hook - primarily athletics and diversity (1st gen was big).  And unless you as a parent or a grandparent are contributing six figures, don’t count on legacy.

No one from my child’s top rated school got in (my child’s stats, top 10%, all As, leadership in ECs, some minor national awards, sports all 4 years, good recommendations, and 1500+ SAT). [b] My child was not accepted at either school and had used EDs. [/b]

If your child has a coach willing to help at a NESCAC, take it.

The admission cycle for class of 2026 was heartbreaking for seniors that didn’t get in anywhere ED1 or ED2 with stats similar to my child’s. Silver lining - and what I repeated at every rejection, “when you are getting ready to leave for school in fall, you will be excited about your school and going to college.”  This is true for my child and extended friend group.

how did your use ED at both Bowdoin and Middlebury?[/quote]

DP here. PP references EDs 1 & 2, so that was my assumption.[/quote]
