[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alum here. With multiple
Other family members who were also alums.

DD applied last year and was rejected. 1470 and 4.35 W at competitive private. Higest rigor. Another double legacy with similar stats and rigor was also rejected. Three other kids with better stats got in.

Legacy isn't enough anymore. You need the grades and the SAT. And/or athletic recruit/FGLI.

Or Maybe if your granddad is friends with the President.... that might still work.

Even the "feeder" schools are no longer a guarantee.

Overall, I'm happy she's at a different school. I was miserable there. She's VERY happy at a different school.

Another tiger here. I wasn’t miserable but I do wish I had gone elsewhere. The whole scene and focus of the Street didn’t fit me.

I would have done better going some place less competitive and building off my subpar high school prep.  That said, academics were good, the precept small groups and thesis are good format, though I needed more support as fgli but I think they have bolstered that.

What were your issues, as my kids are considering (partly because we went to reunions and of course that made an impression). [/quote]
