[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accepted Harvard, Yale. Waitlisted Princeton. [/quote]

Princeton sux (they did you a favor by not accepting). What does DC plan to study? [/quote]

DC also was accepted to Stanford REA. Loves CS but also equally loves Math, Econ, and Urban Studies (which is what his main EC was about). I’m hoping he picks something on the east coast. We’ll visit during admit weekends, talk to people he knows at each school before deciding.[/quote]

My DD who is a junior loves Stanford - what kind of gpa, APs and test scores did he have to get in REA for CS?  It seems very difficult even for the most amazing students ?[/quote]

Honestly we were stunned too. He has a 4.0/1600, not many APs, but private, very academic day school that goes beyond AP curriculum (not in DMV area). He was very passionate about his project to improve urban amenities which had a CS component and wrote about that in his essays. I’m guessing that passion came through and his teacher recommendations corroborated that. But we’re only guessing. Once he matriculates, I believe he can read his file to see what exactly moved the needle. We’re definitely curious![/quote]
