[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With that profile I would focus more on Northeastern, Cornell, Tulane, USC, BC level - which is probably 2 steps down from T10.  Can definitely take a shot or two with ED, but need a realistic approach. Cornell boosters will point to low acceptance rate, but most of the rejects that drive this number down are lower quality applicants thinking they have a shot at a lower quality ivy - they don’t [/quote]

No way.  The 3.93 kid at Sidwell is not going to Tulane or BC--even in 2024. 
This kid has a great chance at a top 20 school and very good chance at a top 10.  It's a quite a rare GPA at Sidwell.  You don't have to do the theoretical math track either.  [/quote]

The above is among the very few reasonable posts in this thread.

OP: Any intended major or desired career for this student ?

MIT, CalTech, and Harvey Mudd are out, but depending upon the whole picture, the remaining top 20 colleges & universities are in play.[/quote]

you guys are delusional - unless they are hooked they will be competing against a ton of top public school kids with better grades and challenging course selection.  Sidwell the equivalent of a top public school - but this is bad advice, this kid needs to be reasonable and target appropriate schools at Tulane / Cornell level[/quote]
