[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid got rejected from Cornell. Excellent private school that sends 40% of kids to top 30 schools. They are top 30% of class. SAT of 1550. Humanities major. Any ideas on strategy for ED2? Going forward? TIA. Please be nice.[/quote] Any other results for calibration? It would be very helpful to have an EA safety/target admit. For RD, assuming you have a safety/target admit, then you can include 4-5 targets/high targets, 3-4 reaches. If you don't have an EA safety/target admit, I would be more conservative.[/quote] We had a miserable ED1 deferral but yesterday got an EA T50 admit with merit. DC is now really motivated to work on essays during the break. DC eliminates all the safeties on the list, replacing them with target/reach. Psychologically, it's really helpful to get one or two strong EA admits before RD deadline, so you could adjust your RD list accordingly. [/quote]
