[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry- what does "run the table" mean? - Parent of public school kid who applied to top 50 and higher schools. [/quote] Running the table is a sports term from pool. If you run the table you win every pool game one after another. Example: A kid gets into HYPS in the early round, which is non-binding, and then proceeds to apply to a ton of other top 20 schools. These kids tend to be superstars and will then be accepted at Duke, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Columbia, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Berkeley, etc.. Then in April they decline all these schools for the original early HYPS admit. It sucks for other top kids that are not quite as amazing because the top 20 schools may only take 1 kid a year from their school. Private schools try and stop this so that the top school admits are spread around a bit. [/quote]
