[quote=Anonymous]Just want to agree with the PP who said the admissions process is not the same as it was even 10 years ago. Kids with great grades, scores and ECs are getting turned down at top 25 schools. In order to get into Ivies/top SLACs, kids need a hook, not just grades/scores/ECs. There really has to be something special about your kid, and even then, there's no guarantee, since your brilliant musician (for example) may be up against dozens of equally brilliant musicians this year at this particular school, so your kid doesn't make it. It's almost a crap shoot or a lottery at some of these schools (Stanford). Anyway, congrats, OP. We have to wait until April because DD is only applying to private schools regular decision. Sigh. But she's mostly applying to match and foundation schools, avoiding the craziness of the Ivies/top 25 colleges. [/quote]
