[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Smith admits a third of applicants. So far, the kids getting into Ivies are low SES and first gen.

This. Not to take away at the accomplishments for those kids, but as a parent you should look at the admits for your family’s demographics. It’s a different ballgame for many of us[/quote]

Sure but no matter what the status, [b]getting in early decision is the most difficult admission possible, much more difficult than regular decision. [/b]  Majority of kids don’t get in ED.

I bet doing IB diploma well made them stand out from the pack, especially not coming from private or test in school. 
[/quote]  Just not correct.  Look up admissions rates to the Ivies, Early Decision or Early Action (December) vs. Regular Admission (March-April).  April admission rates for the various colleges are roughly 3-9%, Early Decision acceptances are almost twice those rates, around 5-16%.  Harvard and Princeton dropped Early Action ten years ago, after deciding that the practice disadvantaged non-legacies and poor kids, then reinstated it under pressure from alums.[/quote]
