[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The reaches for a child like ours seem impossible these days. [/quote] But, plenty of high stat kids are getting accepted. Were other students at your kid's HS accepted to top schools? Is your kid applying for a highly sought after major?[/quote]

PP Here no, my high stats Big 3 kid was applying to a liberal arts, non stem major. You are incorrect in saying "Plenty" of high stats kids at are getting accepted. Some high stats kids the top private schools are being accepted and they are all one or more of the following. 
1. alum
2. donor
3. urm or 1st gen
4. athlete

This is the reality. NOT ONE totally unhooked smart kid got in ED. Some were deferred and may get in regular decision. But if you think what I am saying is untrue you are kidding yourself.[/quote]

I’d disagree with some of  this, unhooked students are getting into top slacs (but not Amherst/Williams/Pomona) and the schools that accept 30 plus percent ED (Wash U, Tufts, Emory, BC).  At the schools with ED rates around 20 percent or below, very very few unhooked admissions.[/quote]
