[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year ECs probably have less weight in college application. Top stats top rigor kids will have a better time. [/quote] What made you think this? [/quote] Def not what we saw this year. Sure at flagships (Texas; UNC; UVA; Michigan) but not at places like Duke, Northwestern, Penn, Dartmouth, Columbia, Princeton and Stanford. Way more than stats at our private.[/quote] Ours too- kids that made it into the Ivy+ schools had the stats (all top of graduating class, highest rigor, high SAT's and 5's on AP's) plus significant EC's with leadership and impact. The kids who either lacked EC's (meaning real engagement/impact in their EC's), had a B or two or had slightly lower SAT scores still did great but landed in the next group of colleges, Emory, Amherst etc. [/quote]
