My full pay kid was waitlisted at a school where she was at the 75% for grades and test scores.  Didn’t seem to help her at all.[/quote]

This times 5. [/quote]

Wow.

Hard to believe. [/quote]

Wash U
Northwestern 
Northeastern (!!!)
Duke
Cornell

Ultimately was accepted at ED Ivy. But still. [/quote]

I’ve seen admissions professionals who would say that the Northeastern result was yield protection and WashU (lack of enough DI?), but all of the others are fairly normal and expected RD outcomes.

It’s only the “cracked “applicants who far exceeded the stats to have something so unique, exceptional, and memorable about them that get into multiple T10s. Cracked has nothing to do with stats or rigor at all. It’s all the extra, internationally/national level stuff.

Grades and scores do not get you in to a selective private T15 school. You need to meet a certain baseline. But after that, it does not matter.
