[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It appears that it is harder to get into college than when we all applied. But what about for the very high stats kids?

Can some of you please share how it went for your child who went through the process if your kid was max rigor, 1550 plus, top grades, great but not national award winning extracurricular.

My child is having trouble finishing up their college lists and part of the reason is we really just have no idea how it will all go with the reach schools. We also don't know what school is "worth" taking your shot early. This child will be happiest with an intense, highly academic crowd.[/quote]

Totally depends on the context of your high school.
How many 1550+ 4.5+ kids at your school?  You are competing with them directly.

If your DC is at a high school having many high stats kids, 1550+ 4.5+ is merely a ceiling pusher.  You might or might not get in a top school.

If your DC is at a high school having an average SAT of 1100, then  1550+ 4.5+ is a door opener.  Ivies are possible, even HYP or particularly HYP.[/quote]
